Crude but effective; also dampens out oil surges from negative G's or turbulence. For the rear breather I installed a "Y" fitting and run a hose from the oil tank vent. Thus the blast tube supplies venting to the oil tank as well as crankcase. 2) Call Doug Sapp first. 3) Your air compressor isn't going to get much done in a 5 minute taxi. It takes between 10 - 20 mins for recharge in flight, taxiing is done at low rpm, with little charging and causes a drain on the system.

K&N filters makes a crankcase vent filter (3" dia. by 2-1/2" tall) that slips right on and is retained by a hose clamp.

It seems that the only thing required to make it fit is to create a new bolt attach plate for the backing plate to line up with the bolts on the rear of the Hub. Does anyone know of a source for these plates, or do I need to have them fabricated? DOes anyone know of any other problems with fitting this spinner to my engine. So far it looks like a no brainer, except that I would have to remove the gills, and I would have to find new bolts which are 3/32 longer to accomodate the backing plate mount.

Dennis Savarese" Subject: Re: Yak-List: Voltage surging Yak 52 --> Yak-List message posted by: "A. Dennis Savarese" Have you replaced the voltage regulator? It is a carbon pile type voltage regulator and is located in the "hell hole" behind your left rudder peddle. It snaps in place and is fairly easy to remove and replace. Getting to it is always the challenge.

Lately, on a short cross-country, I noticed the generator light was on. At the next run-up prior to T/O everything was back to normal. Gen light off during warm-up and run-up, then on at full idle test. Voltmeter recording 28 - 30V when gen light off and 24V when gen light on. Everything was normal on the ground. In the air, after a bit of acro, the gen light was back on again. We cleaned battery terminals and looked for shorting cables but could find nothing. At the next run-up everything was normal again up to the full idle test. After that the gen light was on for keepers. Have since checked the generator brushes. All 8 are 19 to 20 mm long (17 mm minimum). Generator looks fine. Is this a regulator problem? If, so where is it and what is the fix? [My manuals cover the generator but seem to be vacant on the regulator]. Royden C-GRED
