    Doc, the M-14 Tach Generator in connected directly into the same accessory drive gearing that also drives the air start distributor.

    While the Tach drive and the air start distributor share a spline drive insi de the accessory case. They are not bolted to the same port on the accessory case. It does sit anterior to the "octopus" though. Doc Sent from my iPad <pre><b><font size=2 color="#000000" face="courier new,courier"> </b></font></pre></body></html>

    For that matter, they all share a spline drive cog. Doc Sent from my iPad <pre><b><font size=2 color="#000000" face="courier new,courier"> </b></font></pre></body></html>

    From: "Bitterlich, Mark G CIV NAVAIR, WD" <mark.bitterlich@navy.mil>
    Yes Doc, and that is what I was trying to emphasize. Tell me exactly which one of those spline cogs is attached to the Tach Drive! It's important to know. The Tach Drive is not stand-alone, it is part of an overall gear mechanism as your picture shows clearly. It does not matter where the actual hole is on the case, what is important for the average engine owner to understand is that the Tach Drive is part of the whole accessory drive MECHANISM, and is a CRITICAL cog. If you pull the Tach Drive Cover Plate clear out of the engine, you can easily cause the Air Start Distributor to come out of time. This has actually happened when some folks converted their Tach Drive systems over to the P-1000 Tach by Horizon Instruments, that uses the Mag P-Lead wire to determine engine RPM. They first pulled the Tach Drive itself out, and then they decided to pull the next cover plate off in order to make a blank off plate. Well, they went a tad bit too far in the "pull and remove" phase, and managed to yank out the gear that goes with into that mechanism you have a picture of, which allowed everything to come out of time. Give it a try and see what happens. :-) I would rather not. I saw it happen after the fact, and had to re-time the Air Start Distributor for the gent, which some folks claim is easy. I guess I am not as good as they are, because for me it was a real task. I am not an M-14 engine expert. Most of what I have learned has been due to the mistakes made by myself and others. Some of those mistakes have ruined entire engines, luckily not by me for the Grace of God! I usually pass those lessons on via the Yak List. This is one of those times.

    Subject: 18T Paint Scheme Question
    I noticed some 18T's have paint scheme that looked very similar to Beechcraft's speedbird scheme. Does anyone know if there is a connection? http://www.russianaeros.com/YAK18T-in%20flight.JPGhttp://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/52/YAK-18T_HA-YAB_1.JPGhttp://oleyeller.com/StaggerWing_FL01.JPGhttp://static.ddmcdn.com/gif/beech-staggerwing-1.jpghttp://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/51/Beech_G17S_Staggerwing_Chino.jpghttp://www.airbum.com/photos/Beech%20StaggerwingC-17L2.jpghttp://farm1.static.flickr.com/1/1209249_6b624762de.jpg

    Mark, Unfortunately I'm reading this after I have left the hanger. Tomorrow if I can remember with all the crap going on in my life right now I will try to get you a picture that shows exactly how the two interface in the accessory case. I will try to find the shipping cover that came with my new engine. It like the tach driver has a shaft that fits in the accessory port most likely to keep the pinion gear from slipping into the accessory case. If you look at that domed area behind the two splined gears that you see at an angle , the gears that drive the octopus and the tach drive. It has been a year since I had the thing apart. The memory has faded a little on this.
