I forwarded your request to my son Cliff. I believe he has a serviceable one. It has been our experience that the problem is usually a broken wire just behind the connector. If you have not disassembled the connector, check it as a simple wire solder may solve our problem.

That said, the CJ-6 air start valve, and the Russian Yak (and other model) air start valve are IDENTICAL. Just different writing on the outside. :-) Last one I ordered came from Doug Sapp. This has been a well kept secret, but no longer. :-) Mark -----Original Message----- From: owner-yak-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-yak-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Bill vH Sent: Tuesday, May 14, 2013 13:10 Subject: Yak-List: Air start valve solenoid Does anyone have an air start valve where the valve part is TU but the solenoid still works?

I bought two new parachute for Yaks. They are chinese parachute, brand new, looking very much like the russian parachute. My "friend" told me that the Yaks have now these parachute as a standard equipment.(???) So I brought them to a parachute shop for inspection. The guy told me that they looked very much like russian parachute. Not too bad quality. Good copy. He knows how to inspect them BUT there is one point on which he has no idea. The material in which is done the parachute is not usual. The fabric is very porous. He told me that he would not count on it to save his life !!! Still the kind of parachute is vry specific. It deploys itself in two lobes and he told me that this technique is old fashionned but works well. Considering this he can't tell me if this technique require porous fabric or if the parachute are really dangerous. Does anyone have an experience on this? Thanks to all for any hints. best regards Didier ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 03:16:19 PM PST US From: cjpilot710@aol.com Subject: Re: Yak-List: Yak parachute Didier, The porosity of a chute is kind a important. A number of years ago, I brought two used chutes (US Military back packs which were in excellent condition). however when my packer look at them and at my weight (215Lb) she recommended that if I had to use them, "Head for some trees, cause you're going to break your ankles". Sure enough when I brought my new Strongs, (My packer had nothing to do with it.) the first thing they asked me was my weight. And sure enough, these chutes were less porous than the others. Unless you can ascertain from a Chinese packer or manufacture of the chutes what weight class or limit these chutes will take, and you fit in those limits, I'd take your packer concerns seriously. The Chinese in general, are a light weight species of human beings. It makes perfect sense (to me) their chutes would be made to support a lighter weight.

I am unable to st art to the engine. Here is what I noticed. First=2C there is no resistanc e when turning the prop. I can turn the prop with 2 fingers easily all the way around. Second=2C when pushing the starter the prop moves about a qua rter turn then just stops. Pushing the starter again it doesn't move at al l.

Leave one plug in the cylinder, put your finger over the open plug p ort preferably the front bank. If you are developing compression you will fe el it in your thumb as you pull the prop thru.
