Thank you everyone who replied to my posting. Please keep in mind that the CJ has a different fuel system compared to the Yak. I usually prime 2 to 3 times and in the winter 4 to 5 times. But on a hot summer day sometimes it is hard to tell if one is pumping air or fuel, over-priming could happen even to the most experienced pilot. After priming I open my manifold drain valve and watch some fuel dripping out. Then I close it, get in the plane and while pushing the starter button I prime one more shot while the prop is turning - the engine springs to life. Thanks again. cheers Elmar ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:27:45 AM PST US From: STEVEN GIERER Subject: Yak-List: 1996 Yak 52 For Sale I am selling my 1996 Yak 52.

It is designed to work with automotive wire on either a standard magneto or a magneto converted to Electronic Ignition. This configuration secures spiro-wrapped wire more securely than screwing a pin through it with the stock cap. It also has wider contacts for a slightly longer firing time to facilitate the multiple spark feature in EI. Notice that 1 piece replaces both cap and cover. Larger 10mm wire for high energy systems can be used if desired. See it at Oshkosh, I'll bring it up for the maintenance seminar.

Mine is broken and completely corroded so needs to be replaced. If I want to remove it, it means damaging the paint and I was wondering if only the radiator could be removed rather than the whole assembly?? Pictures or drawings would be appreciated! Thanks!

If you want to go to the effort, the radiator can be replaced. It is actually a threaded tapered rod. The best bet would be to ask around and see if you can find an old one that someone removed that you can just thread in and be done. Personally, I took the antenna off, then drilled the original plate for a more modern antenna and mounted it on the same plate. Doing it this way you really should not notice any damage to your paint? In any case, you would have to slice around the mounting plate so you could remove it. I think I have one that I could take pictures of for you, but it would take a few days since I am currently not home. If anyone else has pictures, I am sure that would help you much better than this email.
