    I suspect not the Merlin[only a proportion of which had 2-stage blowers],bu t more likely the Meteor which was the naturally-aspirated version used in tanks and boats.

    Here is a the fitting I am ordering for the installation of the JPI 450/Floscan transducer. It is a -6 AN fitting; 1/4NPT to 3/8" hose barb. Available at http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/KeywordSearchCmd?storeId= 10001&catalogId=10002&langId=-1&N=0&Ntt=663010&Ntk=all&Nty=1& D=663010&Ntx=mode%2Bmatchallany&Dx=mode%2Bmatchallany&searchTerm= 663010 Dennis ----- Original Message ----- From: netmaster15@juno.com To: yak-list@matronics.com Sent: Friday, November 30, 2007 10:46 PM Subject: Re: Yak-List: Fuel Flow , Roger, I've got a JPI I'm about to put into a YAK 50 and would appreciate having pictures of your installation. Right off I have a question re the type of hose fittings you have used . Did you go with U.S. sized fittings and what brand of fuel hose is installed in the CJ? Is it Chinese metric or US? Please feel free to include any suggestions you think helpful. Thanks in advance.

Because the CJ-6 is "fuel capacity challenged" I bought one (at a higher price a few months later) and installed it in N-96YK. Since then, both have operated flawlessly.......register fuel between fillups close to + or - 1 gallon on 35 to 70 gallon fillups. (Aircraft dependent). The Cessna installation (C-182) allowed for more close compliance with the horizontal/straight line intallation as suggested by JPI; the Nanchange installation was not in compliance with the JPI requirements, but seems to not matter. I am on a job away from the Nanchang for 3 weeks; but can send pics of the Nanchang installation if you are interested. Can't remember the specifics at this time of the installation; but DO know that I trust the fuel flow indicatior MUCH more than I trust the fuel gauges. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- Be a better pen pal. www.matronics.com/contribution ttp://www.matronics.com/Navigator?Yak-List tronics.com _____________________________________________________________ Click for your daily horoscope, learn about money, love & family.

    Thanks Richard for confirming the story. So now when anyone asks me what the TBO is for an M14, we can legitimately say, "well it could last over 20,000 hours according to the design engineer of the M14 and verified by Richard Goode, a VERY credible individual in the Yak community." :-) Dennis ----- Original Message ----- From: Richard Goode To: YAK USA LIST Sent: Saturday, December 01, 2007 4:06 AM Subject: Yak-List: M14P TBO Over 20,000 hours working oil-field generators is totally true.I have seen the factory records and discussed it with Anatoli Bakanov,the designer of the M14P!

Note the absolute best fuel economy I saw (12.1 mpg) was at 10,000' with the prop pulled back to 60% and the throttle at the front stop. And at 10,000' the best fuel economy/speed combination at 64% is with the throttle at the front stop. Finally at 10,000', if you want to go fast, set the prop at 70% and throttle fire-walled to get 162 true mph at 10.6 mpg. Also noteworthy, IMHO, is that at 5,000' the best fuel economy cruise settings are just about exactly where the aircraft manual lists "cruise 1 and cruise 2" conditions (1860 rpm/64% and 28"/711 mm, and at 1730 rpm/60% and 27"/686 mm). Perhaps we need to give the manufacturer some credit here? I wish I had completed the data for sea level, but I got tired of dodging ducks and gulls!!. I'll post it when I get it. Note: there is a typo on the spreadsheet. The 10,000', 2400 rpm, 24" MAP fuel flow should be 16.6 and the MPG should be 9.64. -Steve Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=149870#149870

    Subject: Fuel Flow
    Dennis made a statement that the JPI 450 fuel flow that's on sale comes with a low flow rate transducer and that is incorrect. I spoke with them prior to ordering mine and they told me it would be fine in the CJ . After reading Dennis post I decided to open the package and take a look at just what I got. I received the AS 407B transducer which has a labeled flow rate of 0.6 to 60 GPH .....I think that should do the trick. :-) So.....if your thinking about a fuel flow this is as good as it gets .

    Subject: Re: Fuel Flow
    The Floscan -231 transducer has one of the lowest in line pressures of any of the other dash numbers. This is the amount of pressure required to turn the rotor. This is important in case of a elect failure to assure ample fuel to the engine. I am very sure most any dash number would work but the -231 IMHO is the best suited for the CJ, 285 or 360 hp.

    Mozam, I obviously read the data wrong. If I downloaded your spread sheet. Will have to wait until I get a fuel flow monitor to see how is compares to the 50.
