I am in the market for a good 285HP Housai. All offers will be considered but ideally the engine will be 1st or second life. It will need to be shipped to New Zealand. Also in the market for a serviceable M-14P accessory section. We don't require magnetos and so forth, just an otherwise complete section. Please contact me off line at cjaviator@gmail.com Regards, Jay New Zealand ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 02:16:32 PM PST US Subject: Yak-List: Nose Strut Pressure From: Ernest Martinez I need to confirm the nose strut pressure for a CJ. For some reason my nose strut is at maximum extension and I can't get it to stay down. I don't recall it always being like this. I noticed it after dropping the plane off the jacks. First question: What can cause the nose strut to hyper extend without adding any additional pressure? I have the schrader valve mod and I depressed it momentarily and I got hydro oil out. Second question: The manual states 2 MPa, I calculate this to be ~290 PSI, is this correct? Third Question" Whats the best way to release the pressure? add the oil, and then add nitrogen? I know how the manual states, I want the easy way. Whats the normal extension length for the strut? On a completely different note. Whats the best tool to remove the Rear #6 cyl spark plug, without removing the exhaust? Thanks Ernie ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 02:38:27 PM PST US Subject: Re: Yak-List: Nose Strut Pressure From: doug sapp Ernie, I am away from my manuals so I cannot answer your questions about the nose strut, except that it much easier to adjust the pressure if you have the special tool, but it is made for the stock strut fillers not Schraders. I'm sure with some adapters you could mod the tool to fit your Schraders. #6 spark plug is best removed with a #6 spark plug tool. Russian and Chinese #6 plug tool are the same. We carry the Chinese tool p/n 64411/43 @$40.00 each. If I can be of help please contact me off list.

You can't do both. ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 02:49:09 PM PST US Subject: Re: Yak-List: Nose Strut Pressure From: Ernest Martinez Thanks Doug, My last CJ didn't have the schraders, and I had the proper strut fill tool. I kinda need the spark plug wrench now. I was hoping for a Lowes or NAPA solution.
