William started his engine today!After crashing it into the ground, and burning it up nearly 4 months ago,http://www.ntsb.gov/NTSB/brief.asp?ev_i ... 67&key=1it was retrieved from the junkyard from where it had been siting sincebefore Oshkosh.Only cleaning off some charred stuff and a bunch ofdirt, new spark plug wires, distributor cap and pointswere installed, with out removing the distributor orchanging the timing. The carb was removed and replacedwith another carb (mostly for convenience) and it firedright up (no primer) on the third or fourth blade.Tomorrow the battered old carb will be bolted on, as isfor another run.It ran silky smooth for over 20 min.William is now 99.999999% sure it was carb ice.http://www.ntsb.gov/NTSB/brief.asp?ev_i ... =====Oscar ZunigaMedford, Oregonmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________
