From: "Rob Rowe" > 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.

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.
