Henry,
I was just working on a Moose this weekend out in Wyoming, and the owner has
a need for a metal cap for the tach drive. I suggested he track down a
local machinist to turn a cap with metric threads to cover the original tach
drive (he has the storage cap and of course the tach drive housing for
patterns and threading measurements). If he comes up with something, I'll
let you know, and by the same token, could you post here if you come up with
one yourself?
Thanks,
Mike Hastings

George,
Great! How much, and I assume they are drilled so they can be safety wired?
Also, I had a call into Cliff about the small rubber buttons that act as standoffs
on the cylinder baffles (four per baffle), but have not heard back from him.
Thanks,
Mike Hastings

Yes George
I would like to know how much for the caps as well, And is there a braided wire
available for the shower of sparks as well or can you just use a silicone one?

Yes, that would work... I think what he is suggesting is this: Normally the
starter button activates the starter air valve and also turns on the
starting ignition system at the same time. You could in fact put in a
"bypass switch" that would allow you to PREVENT activating the starting air
system, yet STILL operate the starting ignition system. This could indeed
be used to handprop the aircraft and make it a tad bit safer since the
starter air valve would never be activated. This is a simple one wire
issue. It also assumes a 2 man procedure.
Most folks just shut off the main air line and bleed the air system until
there is nothing left to GO to the starter air valve, but to each their own.
Pushing the starter button and hand propping at the same time? I guess you
mean doing this all by yourself? No one in the cockpit? Well... That is
the exact method that was used to provide me my spare YAK-50. A nice fella
tried to do just that... It started. Away it went. Right into a hangar.
Not really something I would ever want to do. Further, the shower of sparks
// boost coil system is not something you want to turn on, get out of the
cockpit, walk around to the front of the aircraft, start it, then go back
and turn it off and then switch on the mags. Just not do-able. It also
would be really close to stupid. I doubt your mechanic meant that.
The system in the YAKS use a very very high voltage wire. It is a stranded
center conductor with a Teflon tape wind around it, and then a shield over
top of that. Remember that this wire goes directly into the mag cap itself,
and there is a ton of energy in that thing when it is both starting and then
running off the mag itself. This produces a lot of RF energy from all the
sparks, which will tear your radio to pieces. I have never tried straight
8mm silicone wire, but it should work.

I guess your right , if you don't have battery power than you don't have to
worry because there is no fire on the shower of sparks, I had a aircraft
mechanic in the weekend and he mentioned about bypassing the start switch ,
because it would be hard to hand prop and depress the starter button at the
same time, we are starting to wire it up and trying to find out how, I guess
he wasn't thinking about that . can you use a regular silicone wire from the
shower of sparks to the left mag??
