When measuring the holes for drilling the center ones, at 115 and 132 mm respectively (From the Extrusion), I find that the jig holes, when inserted into the center spar, do NOT line up. The top hole is fine, but the bottom hole is out by at least 2mm. I have only drilled the one side (Right), and only marked and checked the left, and it too does not line up? Thnx for your help.

As I recall, I had a similar problem. The holes in the spar may not be exactly where they are shown in the plans. At the factory, the three spar sections are assembled in a jig and the holes are drilled through the assembled parts, guaranteeing that they will match up. I would suggest drilling just the top hole, assembling the jig in the spar and then marking the bottom hole with either a transfer punch or a drill bit that just fits the hole. Then you can drill the hole and it will match up. I think I just filed the hole in the jig until I could get a bolt in it. These holes are not too critical, the purpose of the jig is to hold the fore/aft angle of the spar until the spar section can be riveted to the side skins and to set the location of the rear frame. So, as long as the parts on the jig are assembled correctly, you shouldn't have a problem adjusting the hole in the jig a little bit. It won't affect the spar angle or rear frame location. I only had this problem only on one side, maybe the jig being used at the factory has one hole slightly off location. -- Bryan Martin N61BM, CH 601 XL, Stratus Subaru. Airframe construction complete.

    Subject: 912 hard start when hot
    pts rule name description ---- ---------------------- -------------------------------------------------- --> Zenith-List message posted by: "Ronnie Koonce" <rlk@granderiver.net> thanks Richard, Dave, Frank and Rick. Doesn't seem to be ignition related. Changed plug gaps to .020. No help. Let me give a better description of my problem. Engine starts fine when cool. Runs great, full power climbing as long as you can stand it. In flight, current weather, 4000 r.p.m.. temps stabilize around 180 water and oil. If you land and shut down, will not start at all using any combination of inputs. choke/no choke (enricher). Throttle /no throttle. cussing/praying. boost pump/no boost. After 30 minute cool down starts fine. If you land and let idle for 10 or so minutes, (I know this is not good for engine, but has been part of trying to find problem) when you take off, r.p.m. will drop off around 3500 or 4000 and engine won't make full power. sometimes will die completely. To simulate this on ground I let idle until temps got to around 200 oil and 225 water. Advance throttle and engine stumbles around 3500. Doing mag check during stumble causes no change, so I'm thinking this rules out ignition.? Boost pump causes slight but not much smoother running. Shut off engine. Do immediate infrared temperature check of carb float bowls, get reading of 170 F. Pull bowls of right after removing top cowl, bowls are both at proper level. Running 92 octane mogas. Ambient temp lately in the high 70's. I'm out of ideas and will try anything. Thanks.

Thanks. > The lightest components of gasoline have boiling points of around 130F, the heaviest boil at around 450F at normal atmospheric pressure. Higher octane fuels will tend to have lower boiling points. Auto gas sold in the Winter has a lower boiling point than gas sold in the Summer. Avgas has a higher boiling point than auto gas i.e. 100 octane avgas has a higher boiling point than 87 grade auto gas but lower than 80 octane avgas. Lowering the pressure will lower the boiling points and increasing pressure will increase boiling points. It's best to keep the pressure in the fuel lines at or above atmospheric pressure either by gravity feed or with a fuel pump. A partially clogged fuel filter upstream of the pump can increase the risk of vapor lock, it's best to have the filter on the pressure side of the pump. When fluid is flowing through a line, any restriction in the line will cause a pressure drop downstream of the restriction. To some degree this in unavoidable but you should try to minimize the effect. Avoid kinks, sharp bends, etc. Vapor lock may not be the problem but it's something to check. Another thing is, the air in the cowling will get very hot after sitting a while. Drawing hot air into the carbs will give a richer mixture which can cause rough running and hard starts. You would expect this problem to clear up as soon as you start pushing cooler outside air through the cowl. -- Bryan Martin N61BM, CH 601 XL, Stratus Subaru. Airframe construction complete.

    description ---- ---------------------- -------------------------------------------------- --> Zenith-List message posted by: "Larry Martin" <earthloc@att.net> Mine uses a T-fitting with the sender in the offset one, the other two are in line. You have to have several fittings, use a T-fitting with three 1/4" NPT female ends, two nipples for the fuel line and your fitting will screw into the third. That's the way I did it, works fine.

Prior operation was OK? If so, what were the last things that were adjusted, changed or disassembled? If it is a suddenly new condition,,, look at the last things done. Where, or is there an inline fuel filter? Is it in a hot area? Same for the gascolater. Try a run with the cowling off to understand temperature relationship to problem. Does this batch of fuel have ethenathol sp?, in it? If it is now related to temperature inside of the cowling, as in vapor in the fuel system, perhaps a run with 100LL would help to see if that makes it run better. Some fuel lines need to be routed inside of a larger tube or hose,, that has cooling air routed thru & around the fuel line,,, as in helping it stay cooler. Water spray on fuel lines, filter, just to see if there is an immediate change, during stumbling ground run. Just some ideas, problem does sound fuel related, mixture related. Look for a temp related vacuum leak. Intake system & carb mounting. Also, try the stumbling ground run condition with fuel tank caps loosened, to eliminate possibility of unvented tanks. Again, just things to help you trouble shoot the problem. Jerry

    Subject: Re: mixed building
    --> Zenith-List message posted by: "Scott Laughlin" <cookwithgas@hotmail.com> Dear Sudhir: "Easy" is subjective. What I find difficult may be easy for somebody else. What you need is determination, some common sense a bit of patience and maybe a little help from your friends. Have you purchased the plans yet? If you take a look at the plans, and study them, you will find parts you want to build right away and parts that make you scratch your head a little before attempting. You have to invest a lot of your time just to figure out some of the nomenclature on the drawings especially when you are building parts. The first thing you need to find out is if you enjoy it. I enjoy every minute of it. If you don't enjoy it, you probably won't finish. This is a project that will take years to complete, so take your time, do a good job and have fun.
