> No where does one need to pump 20 times, or did I read that wrong.
The M14P manual proposes using 8-12 primes in summer(!) & 15-20 in winter(!!),
which is asking for trouble IMHO.
Personally for a cold start I use 5 primes in summer & 6 in winter, drain excess,
and then wait for it to vapourise for 1-2 minutes in summer & 4-5 in winter,
before starting (as per the book) ... this pause makes it much more likely to
fire up first time.
If it does fail to start I'll give it a couple more primes / pause ... still no
joy then open the manifold to drain surplus before trying again.
FWIW on cold starts I leave the throttle closed and the primer on 'cylinders' (pushed
in) ... this gives a gentle start at low 30s rpm. Promptly centralise the
primer to avoid fouling plugs and after 5-10 secs slowly bring the rpm to 40%.
Helps reduces engine wear until lubricated and particularly in winter places
less stress on prop seals / oil cooler matrix (cold thick oil). Picked this
tip up from a Russian instructor a few years back ... seems to work well. YMMV.

| Subject: | Briz Radio Needed |
This is a request for anyone who might have a Briz radio for sale. These were
the original Russian radios typically found in the YAK-50 and 55, and the Sukhoi
26 models.
This radio is needed by Sergei Boriak, who is over in Germany right now. A lot
of you already know Sergei, but for those that do not, he is one of the best
aerobatic pilots/coaches in the world.
Please contact me at this email address if you have a working radio that you wish
to sell.
Best Regards to all,
Mark Bitterlich

hi Yakers, I have been hanging on to some CJ parts for a while and now it's
time to sell them. I sold my Nanchang a while back, and I miss flying it.
I have listed some of the parts on ebay. Just do a search on ebay for nanch
ang parts, and you will find them. My ebay user name is nanchangflyer. I al
so have some low time cylinder assemblies and baffling, if someone is inter
ested.
