Guys, I had the same exact problem. After talking with the Deer Valley
guys
this seems to be a rather common occurrence. If your primer locks up,
don
t force it! Just pull the primer line off at the supercharger, remove
the
injector", and clean it. There are 4 very minute holes that the fuel
passes
through to vaporize it into the intake system. Trying to force the
primer
just results in more work on the primer too!<<<<
Hey Jeff,
Looks like just ANOTHER reason to use Marvel Mystery Oil !!!!!
I'm kidding, but I continue to use it, as I swear it keeps my plugs
cleaner. Engine idles much smoother when cold right after start.
Besides, it smells great too !!
Cheers,

Tim and all,
That was me, I am trying to discover if it is possible to design a bottle
that will fit all three aircraft (50,52,CJ6). I have examples of the CJ,
but am still looking for TU bottles from the 50 and 52. The new bottle will
be a stainless shell which is carbon fiber wrapped.
In stock at this time: One unused (new old stock) emergency bottle for CJ6.
Just back from China on the 20th, brought a few parts back in my luggage,
had one hell of a time with the emergency tank .......You would have thought
the playboy channel was playing on the scanner monitor the way they were
huddled around it, all pointing at the round "thing"...."Sir we would like
to look in your luggage".....ah sir what is this??? They tried real hard to
make a bomb out of it. And since I flew out of Vancouver BC on this trip, I
got to explain it all again to the US customs people at the border crossing.
Anyway finally made it home, below is a list of what I brought back:
Main air valves 6 ea
QS1 brake valves 2 ea
flap and front gear valves 4 ea (all sold already but more in 30 days)
check valve springs 100 ea
prop seals (both) 100 ea
intake tube seals 100ea
Mag coil 1 ea
Mag high tension rods 6ea
emergency air tank 1 ea
Diverter valves, flap 6 ea
diverter valves, gear 6 ea
Chinese version of Montezuma's revenge 1 case :o(
Please contact me off list for any of the above.
It's good to be home again.
Always Yakin,
Doug Sapp

Hey,
I recently found some pinhole leaks in my emergency side bottle and am going
to replace it. I have a new bottle en-route. What I will look to do is
replace the main side in the not to distant future.
There was talk of a fix out there in the forum of new manufacture bottles.
Any word on the progress? I have a 3 liter bottle that is tango uniform that
I would be willing to donate for the cause.
Anyone...

And MMO relieves arthritis pain. Just rub a little on the affected limb.

Dog,
Contact Dennis Savarese, he had a YAK-52 main bottle about a month ago. I
saw it laying around our hanger not long ago but have not seen it lately.

It was an emergency bottle and we repaired it by welding a patch over the
area.

anyone out there knows of a way to get air pressure into the original m14p via
a 12 or 24 volt portable compressor (my yak 55 had the system removed). A fellow
IAC person told me at a meeting that Mack trucks have an accesory air compressor
but I have been unable to trace a portable device that will get 750 psi
or so to energize the system so I am condemned to carry a bottle with me to the

Andres,
Why don't you save yourself a lot of weight, complexity, and expense. Learn
how to hand prop start the engine. This was the standard starting method
for the first 50 years of aviation. 50 years ago when I was learning how to
fly, a very large % of aircraft were started that way. Years ago we sheared a
starter shaft on a Wright 1820 on the DC-3 when I was co-pilot in the
Bahamas. We hand started it. Piece of Cake. . You don't need air nor do you
need
a battery. It is not to dangerous IF YOU ARE CAREFUL. I truly believe a
aviator's experience is in question and incomplete if he has never propped an
airplane. ;-)
Despite their "high horse power", the HS6a or M-14p are easy to prop. I've
owned my CJ about 11 years,- though I've been caught without air pressure a
number times, I've never needed to worry about NOT getting my airplane
started. This year at S&F, I propped a Yak 52 for a guy who left his air on
O/N.
I am 65 years old, so you know its not a mussel thing. :-]

The compressor is a Cornelius. It is a 24V system used in Various USAF
aircraft. I weighs about 60lbs and consumes a good amount of current.
You see them once in a while on Ebay

My hangar landlord, Jack Beeson, was a pilot in the Army Air Corps (and later
Air Force) from 1940 through 1965. From B-25's early in the war
through B-36's
and B-52's he flew a lot of hardware. He keeps a Swift in the adjacent
hangar.
The other day I showed Jack my Cornelius air compressor in the tail section of
my CJ and he knew all about them. One their primary use uses was in actuating
the bomb bay doors on the B-29's he flew. Later, while assigned to SAC
B-47's,
there was a need for charging the aircraft air systems. SAC aircraft
had to be
mission ready all the time so proper pressurization was critical. Naturally
the Air Force did not have enough ground units for their squadron based at
Biggs Army Airfield. The brass didn't consider that a good excuse for not
having all bombers ready so Jack flew a DC-3 over to Davis Monithan with his
mechanic (some later famous guy named Ford). Jack was friends with the
officer
in charge but his buddy couldn't officially let him raid the parked B-29's for
Cornelius compressors. However, he invited Jack out for an extended coffee
break while Ford "toured" the parked 29's. Jack and Ford returned to Biggs
with a number of the compressors and put them on carts. There was an abundant
supply of used batteries on the field as the B-47's had just switched
over from
lead acid type to a more modern variety. They then always had all the
air they
needed on the ramp until some brass caught site of the homemade carts.
As Ernie said, they take a fair amount of current. On my CJ I can run
the unit
in flight or on the ground. If on the ground on battery only the baterry gets
worked out pretty good so I try to charge the air lines only instead of
opening
the main air valve and charging the whole main air tank. The lines are
usually
sufficient for a start. If you can in fact find a Cornelius on eBay
for a fair
price buy it. They are getting rare as hen's teeth.

hello Pappy: txs for the suggestion, unfortunately I am (was?) a surgeon until
a tiger moth ate my hand with the prop, one day i'll tell you the story, in Casa
Grande with a burnout magneto ferrying the damn wooden contraption but I digress.
No thanks you wont see me doing it again. I had a friend prop start my
SNJ-5 once during an airshow in Georgetown, fellow was short 5 foot tall and had
to get in his tiptoes but if I did not witness the damn thing I would not be
telling you. Cornelius, where do I get a Cornelius and can I get it mounted
in the airplane? 60 pounds lots of weight, just got rid of smoke tank and moving
the seat back, will post some pictures later. based on the sp-55 from our friend
in aussie land.
regards
andres

Pappy,
Thanks but no thanks on propping the M-14. I like my fingers and arms to
much. I just carry a pony scuba tank with schrader attachement on a stage
one with a pressure guage. Holds 2500 psi and is about the size of a bomb
dummy unit (BDU). Fits easily in the baggage compartment (the Russian heavy
fabric bag that fits under the turtle deck). Its good for one good start
and my arm is not in jepordy. Also, there are plenty of Dive shops
scattered around the areas to not be able to get air.
Hand propping a Gooney Bird....balls!
Doc
