I=99ve been having a problem with my smoke system for about a year. I didn=99t use it a lot beca use it dirtied up the bottom of my CJ so I was in no hurry to really fix it. But lately with the sequestration, my co-hearts & I have been getting a lot of request to do fly-bys for one function or another. Thus the need for smok e now, and I started looking into it. At first I thought it was the pump that had finally crapped out. The pump was a un-repairable red-tagged 24v fuel transfer pump whose bearings were going bad. It was cheap (like free) and perfectly OK for the job. So I got a brand new 24v pump. Same problem, very little flow out the exhaust stacks. So than I checked the injectors in the exhaust stacks themselves, figuring they might simply be clogged. I cleaned and made sure the holes were opened. Same problem. That left the electric shut off valve. I by passed the valve with the hoses, and sure enough I had free flow! Ah Ha! Must be a bad 24v electric shut valve. Now this valve was originally the oil delusion valve that came with the airplane when I brought her some 18 years ago. The way I set up the wirin g was to open this valve when the pump was turned on. When I built my smoke system (I am cheap) I left it in the same spot but put my smoke oil plumin g though it. That=99s when I came to the Yaklist to seek out a substitute. Howev er it turned out that Dough Sapp had a brand new original delusion valve in stoc k, which I bought. Not cheap (free is perfect) but definitely reasonable. Soooooo yesterday as I remove the old valve from the front firewall, I fou nd that the cannon plug for its power was NOT HOOKED UP! As a matter of fact I at first I could not even find it! So I got out the flash light and after a peering around in the area between the 1st & 2nd firewalls, I fou nd it wrapped around some of the airlines. That must have happen in my little acro routines. Boy! Did I feel stupid. But as my wife (a retired social worker ) says =9CHoney, think of it as a "learning experience" =9D. Well now I have a new pump, and a new shutoff valve. And I got a lot of suggestions from a lot of caring folks on this list. But perhaps I could have gotten another 18 years on the system IF I had just look a little deeper. Yes I =99m still a CASOB.
