| Subject: | More Great List Comments - Please Make A Contribution! |
Dear Listers,
There's a little less than one week left for this year's List Fund Raiser. I thought
it would a great time to share a few more of the great comments I've been
receiving from Contributors regarding what the Lists mean to them. There are
some particularly poignant ones in this batch and I encourage you to have a
look at some of them.
Don't forget that once you make your Contribution, the Contribution Squelch kicks
in and you won't receive any future messages from me regarding the Fund Raiser
this year! This holds true for the Realtime and Digest distributions and
now also the HTML and TXT links included with the Digest! (Note that for technical
reasons, if someone replies to one of my contribution messages, the Squelch
will _not_ be activated, and you will still receive it. Contribution messages
will also still be found on the Forums site and the List Browse).
Please make your Contribution today to support these List services! Pick up a
great Gift too!

Usually the engine will "cough" as it snaps off chunk of guide which
then gets mashed in the combustion chamber.
Engine stoppages have happened though, if yours just quit without
running really rough before hand I would suspect the ignition system.
Is it possible you had oil starvation?...Unlikely, but I know the that
some Soob motors have the oil pickup over an inch above the floor of the
sump and it gets uncovered duing climbout.
Did you have fuel pressure at the carb when the engine quit?
Good luck...I know the feeling...I think I have just trashed my new
Lycoming...Wont know till I get the borescope test one next week but I
think I have...I feel sick..:)
Frank

Thanks for the advice. I'm running the Leburg
(www.leeburg.freeserve.co.uk/) ignition system. Two magnets on a
modified drive pulley on the crankshaft give my ignition module timing
and RPM data. The ignition module then tells the coil when to fire each
of the plugs. Advance curve is built into the ignition module. I found
the stock Subaru electronic ignition finicky and replaced it with this
system early on. Seems to work very well but I will be dualling the
system from the coil on back before next flight.
I had 50+ hours of ground running on the engine before first flight
and didn't seem to have any problems. The engine fired up and ran
smoothly two days after the accident. What would be the symptoms of a
valve guide failure?

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.
