Oscar,
My O-235 will not start at all when the temp is below 60 without prime. My carb
is an MA-3A with no accelerator pump. I used to have a Luscombe (A65)that didn't
have a primer and wouldn't start when it was cold. I kept a can of ether
(starting fluid) handy...........worked like magic.. I just sprayed the bug screen
....I mean air filter.

Subject: | Varnish Question |
Thanks to all for all the comments! It looks like there are many variables
that can cause blushing (I learned a new word). I'm using a HVLP sprayer and
thinned with naphtha. It did take awhile for the blushing to appear which
made it extra frustrating. About the time I finished it started to show.
Winter arrived, it's 16 degrees so I may have to delay spraying in the
garage, or find a better way to heat it up. Thanks again!

I have been spraying some interior parts, thinned 10% with very good

The only difference from other times were, A bit cooler, 60 degrees and a
new can of varnish. Any ideas? The new can of varnish looks clear.

Maybe you have something wrong with the mags.
We had problems starting the engine earlier this year.- Trouble started w
hen we put on a new harness from Fresno. We have Eisemann mags.
When everyone got out of my hair, I pulled all the wires and turned the pro
p through and watched the leads sparking against the engine case.- They a
ll sparked, but it turns out we somehow managed to swap the wires for numbe
r 2 & 4 cylinders. I think the firing order should be 1 3 2 4.- Short sto
ry, we fixed the wires and it started and ran fine.
Long story,. We still had problems with the mags.- This time with the P-l
eads.- You'll be pulling the prop through and suddenly the engines starts
.- Or you turn the mags off and Piety isn't ready to stop for the day.-
We seem to have fixed the faulty P lead connection, but I am much more lee
ry around the prop than I used to be.- Ack!

If you have done all of those things, it is usually lack of prime. I say get a
can of starter fluid and hose it down, pull through a few times, and make it hot.
If it doesn't even fire then, you have a mag problem (which I doubt)

Did fuel ever drip from the carb? With all of that work, I would imagine it would
be likely to get a few drops which would at least eliminate fuel starvation
as a cause. Your float valve could be stuck closed, and you'd have no fuel
despite all these efforts.
Next, it would seem the only thing you haven't checked into would be the mag switch
and p-lead wiring. Switches do have a life consisting of a certain number
of operations, after which, they quit working. Doesn't seem likely, but worth
confirming.

John,
This is just my speculation as this is John Dilatush's design modification.
The 2 inch strip provides for extra surface area for attaching the fabric
and for gluing the rib braces in place. I think this would also serve as
support for the wing root gap covers.

John it is necessary for sure. It keeps the root rib from flexing outward towards
the tip when shrinking your fabric.

Subject: | Re: New Group Member Introduction |
Guys: I cannot thank you enough, for all the comments; Boyce, where have you been
hiding? Get that darn MII done, before you know it, it will fly faster than
you can think!
I will begin the project in earnest sometime after the holidays; seems, Nancy has
a few 'honey-do this first', that need to be done.
If my guess is right this group will prove to be just like the Mustang II builders
group, I had belonged to during my build and flight; a true asset to any project!
Again, thanks, and Merry Christmas to all.

Subject: | Newbie with Piet questions...... |
Hi all I am a newbie to the Pietenpole. I am a 19 yr old private pilot who just
got my license in a J3 Cub. I've been wanting to build a plane for years, having
helped build ones in the past and the Pietenpole with a Corvair fits the bill.
Especially that I found one for sale. Wings, fuse and tail for $300. The
builder got alzheimers and his son is taking care of him and wants to get rid
of some of his plane projects. What all should I look for when I go to look at
it? Any spot in particular? From what he told me he is a very expericenced plane
builder but what should I look for as far as work quality? Thanks in advance
everyone......

Charles, where do
you live? Maybe there is a builder close by that can take a look. Ask
Douwe Blumberg about the experience. Cheers, Gardiner Mason. Piet

Charles,
Congratulations on accomplishing such a milestone at a young age! I was just
about your age when I saw my first Pietenpol and vowed to someday build tha
t...that was 40 years ago, and have just accomplished that dream...
I tend to agree with Mario, as I doubt there is not too much you couldn't fi
x at that price! It would also be very instructive for you to bring another e
xperienced builder with you...besides the obvious advantage of getting some f
ree help loading it.
Keep in mind that this is a multi-year commitment, even for the most committ
ed, even obsessive, builder. Please stay in touch with us and let us know ho
w it turns out. That project will have a special story, all its own.
