Again I had the same problem. But mine was caused when I cleaned the front
after spilling a bit of oil on the front leg it ran down into the pivot and
cursed less friction. I had to remove clean it all and I too have the pivot but
very firm.

After several months (actually since late January) I flew N886MJ again today.
The new owner who lives near me had been doing several modifications such as
installing dual controls, adding a gascolator, installed a right left fuel
selector as in a Cessna, new brake masters and rebuilt front axle
I made an 80 mile flight to visit Paul Visk and his project. Great
flight in smooth air, very little wind. The St.Louis, Missouri
skyline visible from 35 miles out. Bumpy coming home. My engine is
running great with a few oil leaks yet to overcome.
Paul is moving alone on his project a
Looking forward to September!

Oil leaks are very hard to find with brand new clean oil, especially
with oil already on the engine so you can't see where new oil is
leaking. Best way is to use the flourescent dye and UV light you can
get an auto parts store. Put some of the dye in the oil and run it for

Netters,
After two short ground runs yesterday to check for oil leaks I fired
up and made the first flight after overhaul. After an hour at
altitude over the airport I landed , only to find oil all over the
belly with oil dripping off the tailwheel spring. A major leak? I
guess so. I ha

Actually I didn't but it sure did stop quick. The temps here have been

For those of you who have ever water skied on a river or lake, first thing in

early today (ok early for me). I went to the airport and fired up snakebite. I
had to wait for the oil temp to come up, but was
It was almost noon before the ceiling lifted enough for me to feel safe to
go flying today. I kept listening to ASOS and they were announcing that the
density altitude was something like 1200 feet above what we normally are. I
don't know why that seemed important to me, and am still not very sure
Hi Dan,
Low cloud - carb ice ???
Irrelevant to your grumpy engine, I cannot remember, do you have a VW ?
if so 3000 RPM static sounds a bit low, 3100 would be better, sounds
like you have slightly too much prop.

Mixture lever?
Fuel Valve? Fuel flow?
