one of the channels I watch is featuring this. watch seems a sweet boat.

You can run pants and cross wind gear, they came that way.

Would you want to pay the storage bill for 63 years. :)

Short story about 190/195 circa 1957-8 I scrapped 2-195s and a beech stagger wing. no wanted those old radials, with all the leaks. I pulled the two Jakes, and the 985 and sold the engine to ag-cropers. the aircraft ended up in the land fill.

One of the few aircraft that can taxi sideways. beautiful !

It is the accelerator pump that makes it able to do that, the added fuel from the accelerator pump is why it kept running, if the Venturi action is below the hole in the carb's Venturi it will quit again, the trick was you adjusted the throttle to get the carb is on the primary jet, where the...

My kind of sailboat. watch One of my Favorite YouTube channels MV Freedom :)

Sailboat = a very expensive way to go slow.

As soon as that happens, fuel flow will stop. Simply fuel flow thru the idle circuit is dependent upon an equal pressure being applied, flow is created by "sucking" no sucking, no flow, engine stops.:)

When the fuel supply is depended upon the idle circuit, (throttle plate closed) any ice will cause the fuel supply to stop. When this happens the Venturi action is not enough to keep the engine running. This is why the accelerator pump is needed to continue run. But The accelerator pump must not...

There is a condition that feeds fuel from both circuits at the same time, the accelerator is still feeding fuel and the main jet is operating normally so there is too much fuel. The engine will quit while both circuits are feeding fuel, then the accelerator stops feeding fuel, the engine starts...

The idle mixture is a separate circuit from the accelerate pump they do not effect each other when the engine is idling. the accelerator pump isn't not pumping. The hesitation occurs when the idle circuit stops providing fuel before the butterfly valve is open enough to create a vacuum strong...

some times trouble shooting is flying ?

This long ago? no worries, go fly. Are you certain it is a doubler in a wing a spar? there are enforcement at the jury strut junction. This era the FSDO had to approve all 337s as major repairs they normally would require the spar be replaced.

the testing that will occur when he puts the link in the other hole.

Probably doesn't. you won't know until his testing completes.

If the accelerator pump is out of adjustment it may give the same symptoms as lean or rich. it may be starving, or it may be getting too fuel. When it is starving, it will most likely quit.

Idle mixture doesn't effect how much fuel is expelled by the accelerator pump. Set the RPM at 500-600, let it idle for 1 minute, pull the mixture to stop the engine, watch the rise as the engine quits, it should be set to 10 to 50 RPM. If the RPM rises over 50 than it should be corrected by the...

Auto cranks get built up, why can't we.

Show me a 170 in good condition under $50K They increase in value every day.
