HI;
I;M NEW TO THE KOLB LIST. I FLY A FIRESTARII WITH A HKS ENGINE.50 HRS.. FROM BROWNSVILLE ,TX.
I BOUGHT A FALCON 0 TO 80 MPH ASI FROM AIR CRAFT SPRUCE & SPECIALTY. WHEN I RECIVED IT
IT READ 0 MPH, HOWEVER AFTER INSTALLING IT THE
HAND IS BETWEE 80 & 0 MPH AS IT SITS IN THE HANGER. I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO IT OTHER THAN
MOUNT IT AND INSTALL THE TUBEING. WHEN I FLY THE HAND MOVES CLOCK WISE AND SHOWS ABOUT 30 MPHWHEN THE PLANE IS GOING ABOUT 60 , SO IT SEEMS TO WORK OK . ITS JUST THAT THE POINTER IS IN THE WRONG PLACE. DOES ANYONE KNOW IF I
CAN MOVE THE POINTER SO IT WILL SHOW 0 MPH
WHEN THEA/C IS SETTING STILL?

Frank, Please turn off the all caps. It's just too hard for old eyes to read.

If it is brand new I think I would send it back to where I purchased it..
Have them repair or replace it. I suppose before I did that I would take
the time to make sure the peto line is free of debris. Disconnect it from
ALL instruments and blow it out. If it is only reading 30 when doing
60,,, I would try something different on the static side of the gauge.
again make sure the line is clean or move the location to find a more
suitable spot



DO NOT blow in the asi,,,,, only the tubing and peto.. Remember the
static line is attached to the altimeter as well.

AFTER INSTALLING IT THE
HAND IS BETWEE 80 & 0 MPH AS IT SITS IN THE HANGER>>

Hi,

First thing. TURN OFF THE CAPS. THATS SHOUTING HERE.

Apart from that, if I was the supplier and you brought the ASI back to me with that story I would immediately suggest that you had blown down it `to see if it works`. Those little pipes are very enticing and you wouldn`t be the first to do it. It will b****r up an ASI every time as sure as eggs is eggs. Holding it out the car window with both both pitot and static exposed to the wind, `just to check it` won`t improve it either.

So, with an ASI that you knew didn`t work and in an unfamiliar plane, you went flying. Uh huh! Don`t ask me to fly with you.

Blowing through the tubing won`t help if the thing is registering wrongly on the bench. You say it was ok when you unpacked it. Seems a tad unfair in that case to blame Aircraft Spruce

If I was running AS and in a very friendly mood I might agree to have it back for checking but you would have to be prepared to accept the result.

Hard luck

Pat
