| Subject: | Re: Uneven fuel feed CJ6 |
I had "problems" with asymmetrical fuel flow on my stock CJ. Until, that is, I
got a level tie-down. The problem was that no matter what, starting with an asymmetrical
fuel level always lead to asymmetrical fuel all the way through the
flight regardless of how carefully I filled to "level" it on the ground before
I set off.
Never had more than 1/2 a gallon fuel imbalance the rest of the time I flew the
plane from the level tie down. I also forward cut the left vent tube as per Craig
and all the local guys. That always helps.
Nanchang CJ-6s = 50+ years operating just they way they roll off the factory floor
with no issues.

Doug, you called it. It was the prop hub. Though the linkage did have some issues,
as soon as we pulled the dome and oil piston, the blades wouldn't turn with
all my weight on them (they're supposed to turn by hand easily at that point).

Even those things need an overhaul now and then....I'll bet it was way overdue
by time.
That old grease turned into something else. Vladimir is expert in servicing these
things if you do not want a traditional prop shop. Most of the seals are the
same as V -530 Russki prop.
