Wes,
I never saw a reply post on this, did you say that you had or could get some drawings
on the Scott tailwheel adapter that was machined?
Please lemme know,

Mike,
The guy I was working with was supposed to get back to me. I just
spoke with him a few minutes ago, and lit a fire. :) He made it seem
as though the file was gone because it has been so long. However,
he's going to look. He said that if he had the file and the rest of
the parts from the initial run, and I bought them, he would include
the file (if he can find it). I'll keep you updated.

| Subject: | Question about cylinder head monitoring |
MGL avionics makes a temp gauge that will accept and display 12 inputs. The gauge
is around 200 dollars and the probes are 40 dollars each.
Would the expense of monitoring all 9 cylinder temps be worth the cost of this?
My though is it would go a long way in the event trouble shooting or engine diagnostics
is needed not to mention another good way to monitor one component of
engine health.
As always the input from this board is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

| Subject: | Leaning the Housai - don't want to restart a beat up thread |
I know that this was probably some insane thread at one point, but after researching
old posts on Yak-List I couldn't find anything substantial.
For a guy with just about all jet time (and first time a/c owner) I feel like I
am finally getting a good feel for where I need to be mixture wise. In fact I
think I was running too lean for the first few months of ownership, but I still
have questions.
I'm getting a peak EGT of 760F and the engine seems to like about 25-35 degrees
rich of this. (I don't have a FF gauge)
Can anyone recommend a good source of info on running the proper mixture on a radial?
I've probed the internet but did not really find anything I thought was
useful.
Again my intent is NOT to reopen a beat to death subject :?

| Subject: | Re: Question about cylinder head monitoring |
Westach makes a nine cylinder system as well, with rotary switch to pick cylinders.?
I have it in my Nanchang, it was about $150 as their probes are about ten
bucks.? And yes it is worth it, I leave it on the master cylinder as it usually
runs the hottest then look around at the others to see what they are doing.?
I lost a cylinder on takeoff once, then found the offending one in the pattern
returning to land so it was easy to find and figure out.

Keith, I have a single EGT probe on #1, and for want of a better number I've
been running 50 degree rich of this. I also will be interested in other
responses. ...Blitz

Well the first thing we do here at Vector Warbirds is to take her out at ni
ght and tie her down, damn that just sounds wrong!, well anyway then we run
her till warmed up, go full power, bring the mixture slowly to full lean and
have someone outside watch the exhausts, if yellow flames adjust the carb l
eaner until you get a nice clean blue flame with no backfiring. You can find
the carb adjustment proceedures in the manual and air jet replacement.
We can run at cruise, 22" at 2150rpm and see 12 to 13gph fuel burn. Plugs lo
ok good and head temps run about 200C or less.=C2- We got no EGTs.=C2-

Byron,
I mistakingly indicated a peak temp of 760F and I meant 760 Centigrade.
If you are running Fahrenheit on your gauge you would be about twice my Celsius
temp and therefore your 50 degree rich of peak would be just about the same as
my 25 degrees.
I had heard the "50" rich of peak thrown around but if I set that in Centigrade
I'm almost full rich.

| Subject: | Cylinder head temp monitoring |
Keith
When trying to understand the operation or behavior of any given system (eng
temps in your case) the more information you have about what is happening
"under the hood" the better. $200 for a temp display unit sounds reasonable
but $40 per sensor sounds excessive given that thermocouple wire is cheap as
hell.
As to monitoring all 9 cyls on an M14....I think it would be worth it. Not
so much as an everyday management tool while flying behind your engine but
to report back to this list the results you get from cylinder by cylinder
temp monitoring during various flight regimes. I suspect what you report
back will be a monotonous set of data that shows little variation between
individual cylinder temps....at least with any temp differences due to
mixture variances.
The M-14 has a supercharger that atomizes the fuel charge in a fairly
uniform manner so cylinder to cylinder temp variations likely have little to
do with mixture control (As you know, we have little control of the fuel
mixture on an M-14).
The Russians thought that monitoring only a few cylinders was sufficient so
they designed their temp monitoring circuit in that light.
But by all means, buy the system (spend some to help the economy) and then
report back to this list the results of your findings. I'd like to see if
this prediction is in line with reality.
Regards
Frank

Mike;
The end of the felt wick rides on the cam. The rest is coiled up inside a
small round metal can.----- DO NOT fill it up.
Remove the cover and check if the felt has oil in it. If it is dry give it a
few drops of engine oil. It's a judgement call, the felt should be moist
enough to wick a very small amount to the cam surface but not saturated with
oil.
Too much oil will foul the points and cause much trouble.

Hi Frank,
Thanks for the input. I guess I should have mentioned I have the Housai, but I
get your drift. I'll look around for a better price on the sending units!
Cheers,
