Hello to all:
I'm the new owner of N920Y built by Don Hicks in Alabama. And I have a
question to all that have Model A engines. What is your starting
procedure, for I'm having a little problem when it comes to starting
this engine. I do thank you for your time.

Skip, My GN-1, Corvair powered, is, as they say, "about 80% finished with 80% to
go" to being flight ready.
I have attached a shot of mine, do you one you can share of yours?

I believe the cranks affected were manufactured from 1997 on, According to the
website that was posted about the class action lawsuit. I believe they changed
the alloy used to make the cranks to save $$$.

Gene, what's the difference in a GN-1 and a regular old air camper? That's
awesome work by the way! Did you have to steam those lower longerons in the
aft part of fuselage to get the bend in them? Thanks!

Hello,
I've talked to other Ford flyers and have been running mine on the test
stand for a year now. Make sure your mag, or one of your mags has an
impulse coupling, which I'm sure it does.
My Ford has a weber carb, which I found NEEDs to be choked to start when
it's cold, either by using the choke or covering the intake to limit the
air coming in. I"ve seen guys put a priming line in, but this shouldn't
be necessary. like most engines, pull the prop through after verifying
the mags are off, and using extreme caution before trying it hot, this
will bring some mixture into the cylinders. I've read about guys
pulling the prop through backwards to bring it in but i can't see what
the difference would be.
Good luck
Douwe
