Hi Guys, I am a first time user of the Yak List.  I have a CJ 6, 285 HP that starts fine when it is cold with about 5 priming strokes.  If the plane sits for less than 15 minutes, it will start without priming, but any longer than that & I have to prime 3-4 strokes.  Is that normal?  I am concerned about washing down the cylinder walls with gas.  Also, does anyone have experience with Barry Hancocks extended rudder pedals?  How about quality & ease of installation?  Thanks for your help.

For Priming, my best recommendation is to find the  "sweet" spot for your engine.  Yes, you need to prime if you have been shut  down for more than a few min.  Best place to start is with 2 or 3 shots of  prime, and then 1 more for each 10degC below 50 for the oil temp.  But  beware of too much.  once you learn the spot, always use that for the given  temp/situation.

  

 I have the extended pedals.  Barry did a  fantastic job with them, can't say enough.   Easy to install once you  get the old pedals out.  Just check the exploded drawing in the manuals you  purchased from Doug for how they come out.  Study them and it will be less  time you spend on your head in the cockpit.

Paul,

 When you prime your engine you are not shooting the prime  directly into the cylinders.  When you pump the primer pump you  are pushing the prime into the supercharger.  It  is distributed to the cylinders through the intake tubes as the engine  rotates.  Priming after being shut down for 15 + minutes is perfectly  normal.

I would not be concerned if it takes a few primes after the engine's been shut down for a while, Paul. And yes, I'm the happy owner of Barry's rudder peddle extensions. They're great!!  ...Blitz

Guys,



Thanks for the kind words about the rudder pedals, glad you like them!  Yes, the one down side is the time you have to spend on your head to install.  Unless, of course, you take them out and disassemble, clean, and beautify them as you should!    Seriously, when was the last time you did any maintenance on your rudder pedals?  There are a TON of parts in those things, and most all of them are subject to wear.



Also gives you a chance to re-tension your cables, which are loose in many CJs I see...



The next 6 sets we sell are also guaranteed to restore hair loss.



Happy Flying,



Barry
