Coy" Subject: RE: Yak-List: RE: Oil blurp Well folks, I have been lurking and listing to this thread. I just want to point out that there is one more item that was not mentioned as to the as to the exhaust burp!. As we all know the air start distributor sends compressed air to the proper cylinder during its expansion or power stroke. That is what turns the engine over for starting. It seems those engineers with thick glasses, pocket protectors and slide rule added one more thing. (and yes I did go to engineering school in the 1960's)They added a second hole in the rotary valve in the air start distributer It is timed to send some compressed air to the bottom cylinders during the exhaust stroke! It is to help remove any oil, excess fuel and other glop that could cause a dreaded hydrolock. That means the electric start owners need to be even more cautious about pulling that prop through!
