Brief Description: Re-gapped coils, started cowl fitting.
|
|
After consultation with other builders I was not confident that I had correctly adjusted the trigger coils, due to not being told to remove the cover to get the feeler gauge in. Made the decision to uninstall the engine now, before adding more accessories, in order to remove the cover and check the coil gaps. Did that this morning. Adjusted all coils to VERY close to .012", the minimum gap, and the Rotex recommendation. Reinstalled engine.
This afternoon I began fitting the cowling. Very exacting and time consuming work. On, mark, off, sand - on again. Repeat ten times fast. When I quit for the day the fit was close. Needs to move up and to the right at the spinner. Next session I will get CJ to help me while I retorque the engine mounts, then begin working the rear of the cowling to get the perfect fit at the spinner. Looks like I have to sand some fiberglass off the back of the top section.
