| Subject: | Prop and motor mount wanted |
Hello,
Been watching this list for several months and didn't see much activity
until the oil temperature issue came up. Guess that means the Stratus
is as reliable as I heard it was.
I have a Stratus EA81 that I am going to install on an Avid Flyer.
Before I buy new parts from Airdale.com and Warp, I'd like to find good
used, if possible. I need an Avid Stratus motor mount, and a Warp
3-blade 70" HPL prop. Nickel leading edges are a big plus--I anticipate
lots of float time.
Thanks for any help guys!
Regards,
Dean Barber

Two things to look for.
1) The Subaru ignitor chip is notoriously feeble...You really should
replace this with a TP 45 module from NAPA.
2) Did you have a valve guide failure?...It would be unusual for this to
stop the engine completly though.

List
I began subscribing to the list about three or four months ago.
Thought the list was dead. Good to see others are using it. I don't
have a Stratus but do have an EA81 with belt redrive in my Kitfox IV.
First flight was Aug 26 2005, Second flight same day, engine out, off
field landing, lots of damage. Engine fired up and ran smoothly two
days after accident. Airframe is currently repaired and am going over
the engine/fuel sytem/electrical this winter. Aerocarb Throttle body,
Leburg ignition. Reductions belt redrive. Haven't positively
identified the cause of the engine out yet but will work through things
over the winter. Looking forward to more posts to get more information
on possible weak spots to monitor when I fly again this spring. Can't
wait.

I have a 3-blade Warp, 72", HP, SAE-1, w/Nickel leading edges and I
plan to sell it soon. Maybe the engine mount oo but not sure if it
will fit an AVID (does it have a 90 degree firewall?). Mine is on a
Pelican and I'm still hoping to do an engine and prop upgrade soon but
as usual, it's moving very slow. Check back in a while.

| Subject: | Re: Oil Filter Cooler |
when did the enigne die - climbout or level cruise? full-power? i ask
because fuel flow can be an issue. has fuel flow been tested on the
ground at climbout attitude? is there a three-stage fuel filtering
system (course filter in tank, gascolator, and fine filters before
carb)? were gascolator and filters clean? is there redundant power to
the ignition (or computer)? if not, there should be and if so, was
backup power on or did it not keep the engine running? how long was
the engine running before it died? was it very hot? electricals can
quit when hot then work again when cold. is the alt working and wired
correctly? maybe it was running off of the battery until it died.
good luck, send more info so we can brainstorm. also send to
airsoob/flysoob and others can suggest things to check. email lists
are great for group troubleshooting.

Kelly,
Do you have a specific JCW number for the fins and remote oil filter
kit? I'd be very interested in seeing the pictures
of your remote filter installation and mounting. This sounds like a
really keen application.

Hi Larry,
Yes I still have the info & photo's, I'll try to dig it out for you
tomorrow.
FWIW, I just re-installed my radiator heater last weekend, this time I made
adjustable louvers to dump the hot air out the bottom if I fly on warm days,
I'll shoot you a photo of that installation as well.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving with the family!
Kelly
