 |
|
I was determined not to be that guy. I really didnt want to be that guy. There was no way I was going to be that guy. Im that guy. I bought my Kitfox Classic IV at Oshkosh about 10 years ago. Ive been working on it ever since.
Ive been back on the list for a few days. Good to see some names I still recognize.
The big problem has been my job. Ive always traveled a lot. About four years ago I got moved to a national team. I started traveling almost full time. Ive only been home one full week since last Thanksgiving. Its tough to justify spending time at the airport when you only have 48 hours a week to spend with your family and do all the other things.
My IV has been almost done for a long time. Heres the problem. Ive been trying to get my 912 running. For a long time I had nothing. Then I downloaded a new wiring diagram from the Internet and found that the one from Skystar was missing a ground wire from the starter solenoid. Once I put that in I could get the engine to turn but it wont fire all the way. Its got to be something in the ignition system. Its not getting a spark to the plugs.
Ill entertain all suggestions on what it could be or what else to try.
Good to be back,
Ken Davy

I wondered what happened to you. If I remember correctly your paint job has
the large arrows on the wings?
