Heater Muff

I have had no reason to look under them. Hmmm. Whats that?Good luck with the engine O/H :) Mike |
Mike,
The easiest stuff to remove the powder coat is Permatex Gasket Remover. Spray it on and let it set for ten minutes and the powder coat will wipe off with a paper towel. It will reduce the time from trying to get it all off with glass beads. Jim |

Thanks! |
great thread. just curious what other overhaul or replacement items are on your list[ hoses, wires, ect].
i dont pull my heat muff but i have a co detector that is VERY sensitive. i feel these exhaust systems are as bullet proof as they come. |
I don't replace any wires that don't show signs of needing it. As for hoses, all my hoses are nearly new thanks to Tom at TS Flightlines.
Do to my activity of formation (throttle never stops moving), throttle cables seem to last ~400 hours at best. Ill be replacing that which has 300 on it. They are such a bear to replace, easiest to replace now with the engine off. Plus I managed to do a complete melt down of my throttle cable during a troubleshoot of my amp meter. Had a charger hooked up to my hanging wires from the alternator. Managed to short across the throttle cable and it melted the cable enough that it doesn't move now. ARGH. :mad: Stupid mistake but fortunately it needed replacement anyway. Most of my adel clamps are junk. Oil covered, deteriorating, and nasty looking. AFP fuel servo and bendix flow divider sent to AFP for overhaul and those items have been sent to JB so he can run the engine. |
Interesting post, Kahuna.
Thanks for taking the time to document it. Most of us do not fly as much as you but it is good info to know some things should be replaced. |
New Smoke Injectors
In a previous post I mentioned the smoke injectors completely eaten/worn away as in this picture.
![]() It would seem there has been a change in design from John at SA and these are the new style below. Looks fancier. I am concerned about those little spray nozzles getting clogged up and how Im going to clean them. Plus they are not cheap at $55 each which includes the SS clamps. $125.59 for 2 injector kits shipped to my door. ![]() ![]() |
