There is an automatic "squelch button" of sorts for the Fund Raiser messages.
Here's how it works... As soon as a List member makes a Contribution through
the Matronics Fund Raiser web site, their email address is automatically added
to this year's Contributor List and they instantly cease to receive further Fund
Raiser messages for the rest of the month! Its just that simple! :-)
I really do appreciate each and every one of your individual Contributions to support
the Lists. It is your support that enables me to upgrade the hardware
and software that are required to run a List Site such as this one. It also goes
to pay for the commercial-grade Internet connection and to pay the huge electric
bill to keep the computer gear running and the air conditioner powered
on. I run all of the Matronics Email List and Forums sites here locally which
allows me to control and monitor every aspect of the system for the utmost in
reliably and performance. Your personal Contribution matters because, when combined
with other Listers such as yourself, it pays the bills to keep this site
up and running. I accept exactly ZERO advertising dollars for the Matronics
Lists sites. I can't stand the pop-up ads and all other commercials that are
so prevalent on the Internet these days and I particularly don't want to have
it on my Email List sites.
If you appreciate the ad-free, grass-roots, down-home feel of the Matronics Email
Lists, please make a Contribution to keep it that way!!

Hello:
About a half-inch play was discovered after the post-flight inspection,
the exhaust pipe is loose at the point where it goes to the cylinder. Tried
to tight it with zero success. I would appreciate for the advice.
Thanks!
Serge

It sounds like the exhaust section collar is "frozen" to the exhaust
port insert. Caused by rust on the threads of the exhaust collar.
You can try spraying such things as P B Blaster or Mouse Milk around the
threads and let it soak in for a few hours. It might loosen the rust
around the threads of the collar enough where you can rotate it. You
could also try heating the collar with a propane torch and then try
loosening it first, then tightening it. Don't assume just because you
can tighten it that everything is just fine. You _will_ need to remove
it anyway because there is a "donut" that fits between the flange of the
exhaust section flare and the exhaust port of the cylinder. It may be
totally missing. If it is, the exhaust section will not fit properly
against the exhaust port. You will need to purchase one from M14P
before you reinstall the exhaust section and tighten it up.
If the collar is rotating and it is seized to the threads, you really
should remove the cylinder and send it to Jill at M14P and let them do
their magic loosening the collar AND re-staking the exhaust port insert,
which is a left hand thread.

After soaking it with PBS Blaster shock the joint by tapping on it firmly with
a brass or sand hammer. That should help to break the seized threads loose.
