Hi Folks:
This afternoon I pushed my MKIII out of the hanger for the first time since
22 June 2011, the day I returned from Oregon. Since then the battery has been maintained by a small solar panel battery maintainer. Not only the aircraft battery, but the ICOM A6 battery as well. I had nearly 13VDC to spin the starter. Only fuel in the tank was 100LL. Took a fuel sample, aprx 8 oz, and found no moisture or other contamination. Avgas stores well.
The 912ULS fired right up after a couple blades, and ran just like it did the last time I flew.
I changed the oil and filter, Shell Rotella Full Syn and a Fram TG3600.
Normally I use a Fram TG3614, but Wal-mart was out of them. The TG 3600 is the same filter, but about an in or so longer, giving a little bit more filter capacity.
Tomorrow morning I will go fly after I check the float bowls and the fuel filter. This time of the year is the best time for flying here in Alabama.
The photo was taken May 2007, Alvord Dry Lake, Oregon.
