Doug's advice is right on the money.- On the YAK-50, I just take off the
top line (output) and do the same thing.- Flushing it out with WD-40 will
do the trick.-
-
Fact of the matter is... I dorked around with this valve for a long time an
d then finally ordered a replacement from Doug.- It took about 30 minutes
to replace it, and I am slow.-
-
It took a lot longer to clean it every time.-
-
A SMART person keeps spares on hand of items that are known to fail and cau
se you grief!- This part is one of the above.- Order TWO from Doug, whi
le he has them!-

Guys,
Remove the hose FROM the-start-spider-on-the-engine,-Tie-wrap
a shop-towel-around-this end of the hose and let it hang down, next
fill the line going TO the-solenoid-with WD40, then hit the button or d
epress the lever. -This will flush out the solenoid. -This will help if
your problem is junk in the system, but will not help if your problem is i
n the electrical portion of the valve (which it normally is).

Terry,
I believe the starter solenoid on the CJ-6 is the same as the YAK-50.
There are two types, one without the external actuator lever and one
with. -The guts inside are the same on both. -They are not adjustable.
However, you can take them apart and clean them and usually get a little
more life from the things. -I did that and managed to get another two
years out of one, but eventually had to replace it.
You can take the guts out of one without the external lever and put them
into one WITH the external lever if you want to.

Found the mag spring on top of the cigarette was corroded and the tension
was not enough.
Problem gone!!! Fantastic.
Still have a fair bit of clicking from the number one mag. This must be a
lead breaking down. Question: which mag (left or right) is the number one m
ag??
Thanks all for your help. This has been an on going and a bit of a frustrat

G'Day All,
I and a friend each run a Yak18T.
We suffer the same problem with both aircraft, re even fuel feed.
Flying in turbulence seems to help the problem, but still air is bad
news.
The left tank will feed untill almost empty leaving plenty of fuel in
the right tank and on my mates 18, the low fuel warning light on the
left tank lit up and was fortunate enough to be close to a small country
strip where he landed in a hurry.
He has teed both vents into one. This has not helped.
I moved the left tank vent and re located the vent to about 3/4 of a
inch next to the right tank vent thinking that it may be the vortex from
the prop that is allowing the right tank to feed. Or rather stopping the
left tank to feed.
I have changed the angle of the vent pipe facing the airflow to try and
perhaps get more air into the vent to assist the left tank to feed more.
This has only marginally helped.
I landed on Saturday with the left tank low fuel warning light coming on
on finals.
The right tank had 65 - 70 litres fuel remaining and about 12 in the
left when dipped.
We have removed and carefully checked the check valves. No problem
there.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and cheers,
Chris.

Hi Chris;
The Nanchang exhibits the same fuel feed problem. Typically the RH tank is late
and I know of at least one forced landing with a full RH and empty LH. Believe
this was in South Africa about 6 or 7 years ago.
The CJ6 has a single point vent system which I don't believe is the problem. However
the effective length of the vent line and the fuel feed line are both longer
for the RH tank. Theoretically that could induce a lag in the RH feed time
but I don't belive it is signifigant. Any blockage of the vent by insect nests
etc. will definitaly cause a big problem.
Other than the bugs that leaves the feed tank check valves as the only remaining
source. SPEAKING FOR THE CJ6 ONLY (since I have no knowledge of the check valves
in any of the Yak models) I believe I have solved that problem with a modification
to the check valve which, IMHO, was very poorly designed.
If you have the opportunity to take photos of one of your check valves and email
to me I will try to determine if the mod is applicable.

G'Day Walt,
We carry a piece of plastic tubing that fits over the vent pipes and we
use this to check the vents by blowing into the pipe.
Every now and then we blow compressed air thru the vent.
At no time have we ever found a blocked air vent.
My mate also fitted new fuel cap seals. Did not solve the problem.
The check valves are a simple flapper valve that prevents any X flow and
I cannot see how they can be a problem.
I am not familiar with the check valves on a CJ6
Thanks and cheers,
Chris.
