This is easily seen, externally. There is also a fuel tank access port on the root of the wing. Perhaps there is a leak on the upper side of this root access panel? It would only weep slightly during inverted flight, but the fuel could migrate to the belly area during the uptight portion of your flights.

Fellow Listers: Has anyone experienced carburetor ice while flying a Yak, and how was the situation resolved? Is carburetor ice a common problem with M14-P engines? John B ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 09:08:24 AM PST US From: "Richard Goode" Subject: RE: Yak-List: No carburettor heat... Of course, it depends which model of Yak or Sukhoi since some have carb heat and others don't. From memory, 52 and 18 T do have it, whereas 55 and all Sukhois do not, and they rely on getting warm air from behind the engine in cold weather. Also, in the case of Sukhois, they have a cold air intake to the carburettor which should be blanked in cold weather. This inevitably means that they are susceptible to carburettor icing, but fortunately the M 14 P carburettor is not that prone to icing. But it is easy to detect, since the throttle begins to stick, and this is the first sign of icing. So if you're flying in icing conditions, it's worth moving the throttle frequently to see if it is becoming stiff, and if it is, and if you are in an aircraft without carb heat then you should descend! We had a UK 55 "land" short of the airfield when the pilot was unable to open the throttle on finals.

Richard- Good to know. I've got a Yak 55, but I live in Arizona, where water is rare... Moving the throttle/ECL sounds like a good idea. I'm new to this airplane. I've got the MT prop, but my landing gear extensions go forward, and not down. this actually reduces prop clearance, I believe. How are the gear extensions supposed to be installed? (Cleveland wheels/brakes are installed.) Thank you!

Thanks for posting. What my attention was at the very bottom of their page. The 10,000uF capacitor. I defer to Mark B. On this but will it be useful placed inline close to the T ach Generator?
