Happy your back in the air safe and at home. We should get together at Bob's in Big Bear sometime. Ray Pulsar III/3300 -----Original Message----- From: owner-pulsar-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-pulsar-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Alex Kozloff Sent: Saturday, September 24, 2011 4:37 PM Subject: Pulsar-List: Aborted Trip and Safe Return after Repair --> 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, -- Alex Kozloff Pulsar I N190AK Santa Paula, CA 93061 (949) 400-6364 Cell (805) 525-1415 Office _!_ 'O-O-(_)-O-O' ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 01:44:32 PM PST US From: GREGSMI@aol.com Subject: Pulsar-List: Reunion Wow, another great reunion in the books.
