Subject: | starting the warm A65 |
I needed to refuel the airplane so I made the 10 minute flight over to Cast
roville yesterday on a sunny, cool afternoon. Starting after refueling is
the biggest challenge as far as warm starts for my engine. And this time I
had the dreaded 'onlookers' (two guys in a Champ) and didn't want to sit t
here propping and flooding while they chuckled under their breath. Everyth
ing went perfectly, thanks to the tip from Walt, Ben, and others about open
ing the throttle to get the carb off the idle circuit as the mags are shut
off as I shut down at the fuel pump. Started on the second or third blade.
Got the technique down now!
Part of the reason for making the flight was to warm the engine up so I cou
ld change the oil, too. I used a little siphon pump that came from Auto Zo
ne and it works great. Much less hassle than removing the cowlings and pul
ling the oil sump drain, or even using a quick-drain fitting on the sump.
Just stick the end of one tube down the filler neck into the sump and the o
ther into the waste oil container and start pumping. Pretty amazing how bl
ack that oil gets in 25 hrs. of operation, too.Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXm

Oscar,
Great, glad it worked.
I'll pass my part of the credit on to my mentor.

If anyone can use a William Wynne Black Prop Hub I am selling one. It is
unused (test fit it once on the crank), as received from WW, price is what I
paid for it - $319 plus shipping. I also have a WW Puck and Alternator Pully
I will sell with the hub or will sell separately after selling the hub.
Please contact me offline at at7000ft@gmail.com.

What oil were you using and how did your oil screen look?
