Subject: | Searching for Earl's oil cooler |
I had to abandon my plane in Searcy, AR and drive home because we could not
repair the oil cooler after the "welder" destroyed it. We tried bypassing
the cooler but oil temps ran too high on a short test flight even at a very
light power setting (it was 111 degrees outside!).
Thanks to several of you who responded to my pleas for help. I'm looking for
an Earl's 61002 (dimensions below) which is apparently no longer in
production. If you have that cooler and would be willing to part with it
(permanently), please let me know. Next steps include contacting Earl's to
see if they know if any of their distributors or resellers have one on the
shelf. Failing there, it looks like their # 21000 could be adapted to work
with a 2.5" mounting extension, though the cooling area would be only 61.5%
of the original one.
Thanks again for all offers of assistance.

Subject: Pulsar-List: Earl's oil cooler
I'm broken down in Searcy, AR and need help figuring out which Earl's oil
cooler I have. The oil cooler developed a leak where one of the fittings
goes in. I had a local guy (highly recommended) weld it and it looks like a
dirt daubers nest now with several leaks and pinholes. I'm trying JB-Weld
but as a backup, if I have to get a new cooler sent in, I need to know the
Earl's part number. If any of you have the one supplied by Skystar and could
give me the part number, I would be most appreciative.
Mine is dimensioned as follows:
Fitting centers 7.5"
Height 3"
Body width at the widest points 10.75"
Face width (b/t the tanks) 6.5"
Thickness 2"
Rows 8
Thanks for any help.
