Brief Description: Prepping for engine re-starting
|
|
Over five sessions I beavered away getting ready to start the engine again. It has been almost two years since I last started it! Where has all the time gone?
Some of things I tackled: drained trapped water in the fuel tank vent line, tightened the oil hoses around the thermostat (weaping leak), tightened the carb to manifold connection, poured over the engine looking for whatever, charged the battery, re-set the carb idle speed and mixture screws, secured the Bowden cables (throttles and start carbs), added engine coolant and oil, checked the gascolator, re-installed the Dynon EFIS in the panel, pumped up the tires (26 psi mains, 25 psi tail wheel), torqued the prop bolts, checked the Gear Alert for the undercarriage operation (checks OK), checked the flap actuator (hmmm... seems backwards), and checked the trim actuator (double hmmm... nothing happens). Well, the last two items I don't need to run the engine, so let's do it!
