OTOH, if you reply to this sort of thing it encourages them to continue sending SPAM. Any company that ever sends me spam is immedately out of the running for ever getting business from me. -- Brian Lloyd 6501 Red Hook Plaza brian@lloyd.com Suite 201 http://www.lloyd.com St. Thomas, VI 00802 +1.340.998.9447 (voice) +1.360.838.9669 (fax) There is a time to laud one's country and a time to protest.

The main system (behind the rear seat) is powered and indicating the correct magnetic heading but the front and rear instruments are frozen in both slaved and free mode??? The signal is not getting through, or maybe power is not getting to the instruments. They were working fine up until three days ago and then just froze. I have checked the AC fuses (on the floor behind the back seat) as well as the main fuse board. I don't know too much about them but all seems to be order there. Any ideas welcome as wiring diagrams are a bit of a mystery to me. Thanks BJ ________________ Bryan Coppersmith Tel: 647 8649020 Fax: 647 8649087 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 04:55:04 PM PST US From: "Jorgen Nielsen" Subject: RE: Yak-List: AH --> Yak-List message posted by: "Jorgen Nielsen" Mercury switch like rocking horse sh1t...

This is the most common reason why these things fail and, as we say in England they are like rocking horse s$%t, damn hard to find. Sorry not to be more help than that. Remember if you take it apart that these are hermetically sealed and I would suggest getting some nitrogen in there when you seal it back up again. If you want to prove it then I suggest swapping the switches between the units and see if the fault transfers. BTW, I asked the question last week, what part of a Yak 52 electrical system does not work unless the engine is running ? The answer is the stall warning heater it gets its power direct from the generator, see what happens when your fuse box gets an attack of the china syndrome, the silver lining is that you learn something.

Play with the adjustment? I have problem with mine, it moves in right direction (in other stays still) but is way out of alignment. I have spare damaged unit I took apart to check for adjustment possibilities, and have found what looks like a couple of adjustment screws.

Er, ah, I went ahead and made one of the flyouts today on their list. I'm sorry if I had a good time.

"Leta Wrightsman" --> Yak-List message posted by: Bill Halverson For all you YAK-55 drivers out there, a short note to let you know I have ordered 50 "Anytime, Baby!" patches with Velcro backing from American Patch & Emblem Company http://www.americanpatch.com/ ... hope to have them within about seven weeks. A picture of the patch is at: http://www.matronics.com/enclosures.html/william%40netpros.net.03.13.2004/ I'm setting the price at $10.00 per patch + $2.50 S&H to USA locations. Overseas S&H will be ICB. If I could get a good translation into Russian, with the Cryllic fonts, I may change the order to use that instead of the English script ... but I'd need help getting the right translation ... Let me know if you'd like patches? And if you would vote for English or Russian? I have a PayPal account of william@netpros.net ... money orders are OK too.
