| Subject: | Re: M14P Magneto |
I had exactly that problem with my M14P powered CJ- even the mag drop. After chasing
it around as a mag problem it ended up being a blocked header tank vent-
causing severe lean conditions ( white plug deposits) and stopages in flight
with erratic mag checks after flight. Try checking your vents before disassembling
your mags. It does not take much to block the vents. The hotter the day the
more the problem will manifest itself because of expanding air in the header
tank cutting off the fuel.

Subject: Yak-List: M14P Magneto
Hi YAK-Folks,
first of all I want to thank you all for this great forum. It helps me a lot to
solve several problems with my YAK 52 in the past.
Now I have a question to all of you M14P experts.
A few weeks ago, while riding in my YAK with 82% and climbing, after 20 minutes
the engine stops two times short one after another only for a heartbeat. I stopped
climbing immediately and closed the throttle. After that, I noticed a loss
of power, while the engine runs smooth again. After checking the mags, with
no noticeable problems I went back to the airfield, landed and while shutting
down the prob it turned backwards a few cycles, which it hasnt done for the last
120 hours. I pulled the plugs (Dennis automotive conversion kit was installed
two years ago and the plugs were till the last 30 hours) and they have showed
a white surface, so it seems that the mixture was too lean. Therefore I changed
the diaphragm of the carb, which was already inside since the last 25 years
(!). It looks a bit crumpled but without any cracks.
While test running the engine after this with the cowling off, it runs great on
ground and shows every values in an acceptable range. After putting the cowling
back on again I did a test run again and while switching to magneto #2 it stops
intermittently for a second or so and shows also on both magnetos an excessive
drop of rpm, that means round about 6-7%. It was a very hot day with outside
temperatures of about 36C. At the moment it is very hot in Germany....
So, my question is, is it possible, that both coils in the mags went TU (I like
this expression ;-)) while the engine get (very) hot? Any other advices?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Best regards
Stefan

Stefan,
Having riden that horse a couple of times, the senerio generally goes like this.
You have been airborne for about 15 to 20 minutes when there what sounds like
a backfire with the engine stopping for a heartbeat then resumes power as if
nothing happened. Airborne mag checks do not show any real issues. If you continue
to fly this process will intermitantly repeat itself with the same results.
Check of the plugs and the timing on the ground will not turn up the problem unless
you run the engine at nominal one or above for 15 to 20 minutes. That is
not practical since that will overheat the engine.
The problem most likely is in the mags and it is indeed a TU coil. The paper capacitor
has failed but it takes a while for the coil to heat up facilitating a
discharge that is transmitted to each plug on the bank resulting in spark that
explodes the fuel air mixture in the supercharger via the open intake valve
on that cylinder.
Hope this helps.

Anyone have any details on the accident with two fatalities in South
Portland, Maine?
The aircraft went down after taking off from Portland International Jetport
landing on a city street apparently downtown. The two occupants of the YAK
52 were the fatalities. No one on the ground was injured despite the A/C
augering in on a busy street. This happened about 1530 local Saturday.
This was reported by AP news in today's Sunday edition of my local paper.

Survivability would depend on vertical G forces and forward G forces at
impact. The Gx axis (vertical) and the Gy axis. The eyeball to great toe
axis is the Gx axis. The downward then forward movement of the human body on
impact could exert enough force to avulse the heart from the Aorta at its
root attachment to the heart as well as fracture the cervical spine at the
base of the skull effectively pithing the poor soul. There are some other
fatal injuries that occur also. The two mentioned above are enough.
Will be interested to see the cause.

Did you mean the 15 / 600 x 6? The regular 600 x 6 is too large, at
least for the CJ. The wheel for the Cessna 337 nose wheel works well
for this.

I am really bummed to hear about the -52 crash in Maine with 2 of our Yak
brethren onboard.
I was just in the process of writing a Yak Safety email last week, but
didn't get it done.
This is the third (3rd) multi-fatal Yak 52 accident in 2010.
There have been 2 multi-fatal in T6s and a P51 loss in addition to several
other warbird issues.
PLEASE, take it slowly the remainder of this year.
Do an extra FOD check.
Watch the low level maneuvering.
Many of us are flying less and working more.
Double up the safety paranoia and be suspicious of everything.
Have a great OSH for those that can make it.

| Subject: | Re: M14P Magneto |
Thank you for your fast reply.
Doc: I read about the problem with the mags in the forum which will only occur
if the engine is hot after 20-35 min. of flying. This and the mag drop/interruption
was the reason why it comes into my mind, that there could be a problem
with the mags.
Doug: You talk about the header tank vents. This means the flapper valves on both
sides connected to the main tanks, right? Sorry, because of my English, but
it isnt good enough and my dictionary tell me that vent and valve there are two
different meanings. If I understand it right, you mention that if the pressure
in the header tank is to high and the valves are not in a good condition,
there is not enough fuel flow from the main tanks to the header tank? Is it possible
to check them without dismounting the header tank?
Thanks
Stefan

| Subject: | Re: M14P Magneto |
Stefan-
On the CJ the two main tanks gravity feed to a small header tank. The outlet for
the header tank is about 2/3 to 3/4 up from the bottom of the tank. This makes
the header tank also a sump for water and other contaiminates. There is always
a little area of air in the top of the header tank. When the vent line for
the header is blocked that air bubble can not regulate itself and expands with
any increase of temperture and/or altitude. That increased air bubble can interfere
with fuel flow- it can do it in ways that mimic some magneto problems.
It is easy to drain the fuel and with two people disconnect all the fuel vents
and using appropriately sized tubing attached to the exposed vent line end either
blow into or use VERY light air pressure to check that the vent lines are
clear. Now it may still be a magneto problem- others have had similar symptoms
and had different solutions- but a blocked header tank vent is what I had and
finding the blockage fixed my problem. I had huge mag drops on the ground after
a flight, sudden stoppages and restarts in the air with rough operation soon
after that smoothed out eventually, and lean conditions no matter how the
carb was adjusted. This problem took a long time to figure out, it did not happen
every flight, and the higher and hotter the conditions the worse it would
be.

Thank you for your fast reply.
Doc: I read about the problem with the mags in the forum which will only occur
if the engine is hot after 20-35 min. of flying. This and the mag drop/interruption
was the reason why it comes into my mind, that there could be a problem
with the mags.
Doug: You talk about the header tank vents. This means the flapper valves on both
sides connected to the main tanks, right? Sorry, because of my English, but
it isnt good enough and my dictionary tell me that vent and valve there are two
different meanings. If I understand it right, you mention that if the pressure
in the header tank is to high and the valves are not in a good condition,
there is not enough fuel flow from the main tanks to the header tank? Is it possible
to check them without dismounting the header tank?
Thanks
Stefan

Hi all,
regarding the tank vents. If I am not wrong there are three vents. Left
tank, right tank and header tank. If you blow the vents with compressed air
then you will have to take a lot of care that this air can go away. In the
case of the left and right tank it is easy because you just have to open th
e
tank before blowing the vent. In the case of the header vent then you may b
e
carefull because if you blow it without opening the purge you will dammage
the valve in the header tank....as I have been told....
My mechanical words are perhaps not the god one but still the result would
be the same...take all precautions before blowing the vents.
Perhaps Dennis or Doug could drop a word about this manipulation. All of us
would like to be sure that our tank have a good connection to the air but i
f
we try to blow air let us just do it the right way.
g'night

1. What do we like for Yak-52 tire pressures? 40 nose, 45 mains? 42
all around?
2. Regarding that Yak-52 header tank vent mentioned earlier. So, if
obstructed, that can cause leaning... if so, would or wouldn't the
fuel pressure be lower than nominal? Would this cause elevated CHT?
Finally (not being near the plane), where is this vent? I'm assuming
under the fuselage forward of the header tank? If it is blocked, how
do you test this? Unlike the wing tanks, you can't pressurize the
vents and listen to the filler holes. Suggestions?

The Yak 52 header tank vent line is tied into the main vent line which
is below the fuselage. There is no separate, overboard vent line for
the Yak 52 header tank. See attached drawing.

I am really bummed to hear about the -52 crash in Maine with 2 of our Yak
brethren onboard.
I was just in the process of writing a Yak Safety email last week, but
didn't get it done.
This is the third (3rd) multi-fatal Yak 52 accident in 2010.
There have been 2 multi-fatal in T6s and a P51 loss in addition to several
other warbird issues.
PLEASE, take it slowly the remainder of this year.
Do an extra FOD check.
Watch the low level maneuvering.
Many of us are flying less and working more.
Double up the safety paranoia and be suspicious of everything.
Have a great OSH for those that can make it.
