Just wanted to close the loop on this and say that 623JF is home and safe with
her new oil cooler. Thanks to Bill Kulpa for providing the ride up there in his
Centurion and assisting with the repairs.

Pulsar people are simply the best!
John Sondgeroth in NY had the exact Earl's unit I needed and has graciously sent
it my direction. Rhonda keeps saying she can't believe how helpful Pulsar people
and pilots are in general. I found a gentleman with available hangar space
in Searcy, AR who offered to keep the plane there and gave us full use of the
facilities, tools and even his pickup.
Thanks again to all who offered to assist and again to John for parting with the
piece I needed. Looks like I'll be back in the air in a few days.

Subject: Pulsar-List: 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.

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:

Height 3"
Body width at the widest points 10.75"
Face width (b/t the tanks) 6.5"
Thickness 2"

Yes, I do. The forward hose from the cooler runs back to the oil tank which
on my plane is mounted on the pilot side firewall engine truss mount. That
20" hose had the ability to possibly vibrate and/or exert an aft pull on the
fitting where it attached to the cooler which likely contributed to metal
fatigue. See this picture for "a picture is worth a thousand words."
http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL17/102601/8658173/398104735.jpg
I will create some type of bracket with an Adel clamp to support the hose at
its midpoint and tie it in solidly with one of the intake manifold bolts.

For those that have never thought about it,the following narrative might he
lp in the future.
As we were leaving SRC, Jim departed first then I followed as he was turnin
g crosswind.- I started my crosswind turn as Jim passed overhead and that
was the last time I saw him.- While the Pulsar can climb like a homesick
angel, it sacrifices ground speed.- My old clunky Centurion only climbs
at 700-900 FPM but with a ground speed of 120Kts, 138MPH, so as soon as we
were both downwind, Jim had climbed into my blind spot and I simply ran und
erneath him.
I guess I need to install a rear view mirror or camera so I can watch Pulsa
rs.- I love the plane but it is a bit slow.

| Subject: | Pulsar reunion 2011 |
Good afternoon. We finally got home from Oshkosh today. We took full
advantage of the cooler weather and spent an extra two weeks in Wisconsin,
Michigan, and Ohio.
Got home to a mail box full of reservations. We have thirty people
registered and 11 Pulsars flying in. It is going to be a great party. Alan Gill
contacted me with some bad news, his wife has to go in for surgery so they
have canceled their trip to North America. They send their regrets and hope to
make it next year.
I continue to collect things for the reunion. Reverend Krohn sends his
regrets but enclosed a package of material, old news letters and pictures.
Steve Dunham has sent some miscellaneous parts to sell and I have boxes of
pictures and parts from Paul Drone. Please bring any parts you want to sell,
one builder is flying in his Jabiru powered Pulsar with a for sale sign on
it. He hopes to fly home commercial, so if you are in the market for a GREAT
Pulsar, you should bring your check book.
By the way, I am looking for a 912 or 912S to power our new bird, so if you
have one or know of one for sale, please let me know.
If you have not sent in your reservation yet, please get it to me ASAP.
Also, if you plan to stay at the Holiday Inn Express, please call them and
make your reservation before they release the room block.
If you have any questions please contact me at 210-639-5764.
I am looking forward to seeing everyone.
Greg Smith

in Searcy, AR who offered to keep the plane there and gave us full use of the
facilities, tools and even his pickup.
Thanks again to all who offered to assist and again to John for parting with the
piece I needed. Looks like I'll be back in the air in a few days.

Subject: Pulsar-List: 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 # 210 00 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.

Hey Pulsar owners
Ran into a guy today who worked on my plane before I bought it and h told me I
had a fuel problem.
Seems one of the vent lines was blocked They tried to poke through as far as they
could but couldn't get to the blockage. So... Now what? He seemed to think
putting in a new vent was better than ripping open the wing - I agree!
What about a vented fuel cap? Thoughts? Suggestions?
Thanks
Chris

| Subject: | Re: Fuel tank vents |
Have you already tried clearing the-line with-high air pressure...like
80-100 lbs?- Depending on the location of your fuel filler cap,-the ope
ning may be opposite and close to where the vent line enters the top of you
r fuel tank.- If need be, I can with the aid of an inspection mirror, -
reverse feed a small diameter stiff wire through-a wing fuel filler openi
ng into the vent line on my XP.- Hopefully your blockage is not in one of
the 90 degree bends near the wing tip.- You may very well have an insect
that has swelled after contact with fuel and is creating a rigid blockage.
- I would go to the trouble of making an adapter to insert through the wi
ng fuel filler where the pointed tip could be held firmly on the end of the
vent tube and high pressure air be applied to blow back through the line.
- Good luck.

Thanks Dave... I'm not sure how they tried to release the blockage. All he said
was they tried to reach it but came up against a wall. Whether that was a bend
in the line or the actual blockage I don't know, and I take it they pushed from
the outside in. I've had a mud dauber block up my pito tube on my cessna.
Pain in the but!
I take it you've had a similar experience. I'm going to get a mirror and see what
I can see inside the tank. Wouldn't all the vent lines be in the same place?
Thanks

Just a suggestion but I once cleared a fuel vent on a Pulsar using a guitar
string. Those are very flexible and made it through the bends that went into
the fuselage tank. I pushed while turning it by hand and it cleared out a
plug that was restricting the vent inside the tank. I think that I also
modified the end of the string so that it had a slight cutting edge to it.

Once you have the blockage cleared a neat trick to stop it happening again is to
use a split pin slightly smaller than the vent tube - just put a small kink
in one side of the pin so that it stays in the vent tube. Put a ribbon on it
to remind you to remove before flight but if you do forget air can still get past
the pin so you won't collapse your tank.
Stops any insects from getting and also does not create "bad" things from happening
if you forget. I use that method and works just fine.
As far as getting the blockage out try getting some very small flexible cable from
a hardware place and feed in while turning.
