Hey Gang:
Sorry couldn't make it to LWC from my first stop at IFP (Bullhead City, AZ).
It took four (4) days to sort out the problem, Order Parts, Install them, and
fly home.
The problem was that the snap ring that retains the spring retract boss for the
Bendix sheared off.
This allowed the starter motor gear to move further forward than normal and jam
against the crank shaft gear.
With the engine running and the Bendix gear unretracted, the starter acted as
a generator instead of a motor.
This generated an unregulated back EMF that fried the started motor.
We couldn't find any parts of the snap ring, and were worried that some bits may
have entered the generator section.
Thank goodness there is a hole in the bottom of the generator case that may have
been put there to preclude such an event.
Bottom line, once new starter was installed, engine ran like a top all the way
back to SZP.
The temperature at IFP was 106 to 112 degrees during my stay there; and it could
have been a very uncomfortable working environment.
It so happens that Reg Pridmore, one of my SZP neighbors, had a hangar there that
allowed the work to be done out of the sun.
That fact, plus superb support from Scott Harms, who built the hangars and the
personnel at Landmark FBO made it all possible.
As it turned out, across the Colorado River from Bullhead City (Named after an
outcropping in the river shaped like a Bull's head)lies Laughlin, NV.
Gambling towns such as Laughlin, offer reasonable room rates and excellent dining
venues for their customers, as well as free shuttle service from the airport.
So, if you are planning to have a breakdown in your plane, arrange it to happen
at IFP,
You won't be sorry,
--

Wow, another great reunion in the books. We had a great time, met new
people, ate great food, and enjoyed some great weather for flying.
We arrived safely back at out home airport, approximately 10 minutes after
take off. Ricky call and had made it into Memphis. Still waiting to hear
back from the rest.
It was a great weekend, we really enjoyed getting together with our Pulsar
friends.
Take care and be safe,
Greg

We made it home safely after a few hours stopover at Oklahoma City to visit
relatives. Many thanks to Chuck and LaVerne for the use of their car while
we were there.
And thanks to Greg for putting together another great reunion!
