KR> wire sizes
Somebody asked about wire sizes the other day. The chart I used to determine mine is at http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/wiresize.html . I think this same chart is also in the Bengelis books, which you should also own if you're building an airplane. EAA sells the full set for a reasonable price.

KR> / 0-200 starter
Dan and other 0-200 pull starter users, Make sure the starter switch is adjusted properly and that you are getting full engagement of the starter gears. Mine was not set up properly when I got the engine and in mere moments I had ruined some $400 gears in the accessory case. Fortunately, a friend in the EAA chapter had the gears and let me have them at a reasonable price. There is a setup procedure for the starter on the web or in the overhaul manual, I don't remember which. You want the gear teeth engaged before the switch makes contact. I used my own procedure that I won't go into for liability reasons. :-) Larry Flesner

Don't give it a "slow" pull or you could be looking for new gears if the setup is not right. Larry Flesner

Originally, I co-located the ELT with the antenna to keep the coax short and make for a unitized installation, but relocating the ELT to the side makes perfect sense. I'll do that; thanks for the idea. Sometimes you look at a problem too closely for too long and you miss the most obvious solution.

KR> / 0-200 starter
Hi Guys and Girls; I have thoroughly inspected the starter engagement mechanism and checked it against the Continental manual and I am confident that it is properly adjusted. It fully engages the starter gears before the electrical contacts close and they most definitely do close and there is plenty of over travel available beyond that for the contact switch but there is a very considerable amount of spring pressure to overcome which I cannot and should not change in the mechanism itself. Now it could be that there is a lot of mechanical drag in the pull cable itself when pressure is applied during the pull and that might be helped by the careful application of the proper lubricant (oil). I did not pull the cover off of the header tank yet which is what I'll have to do to lubricate the cable and like Larry said there may be far more cable twisted around in the header tank area than is necessary, so I'll have to check that out yet and let you know what I find. Have a great week everybody. Regards, Myron (Dan) Freeman Indpls, Ind. 46203-3570 Home of the Indy 500, the World's most famous auto race. mfreem...@indy.rr.com ? ? ? ? ? ?

OK, I checked and lubed the cable from end to end and I checked the routing. It goes from the top center of the panel down to the left side and under the header tank along the top longeron and out the firewall then up to the top right side where it connects to the starter. There is no way to run it straight up over the header tank because there simply is no room to do it without a major modification to the tank. I did not try to crank it over because it's still in the trailer and I'm by myself and I didn't want to chance damaging something. But I did try pulling on the T-handle and it seemed easier but without a scale or something to gauge it by I'm just guessing. So that's the end of it for now, have a great week. ? ? ? ? ? ?

KR> In Defense of Bruce
He is known on the list for posting links to Craigslist posts for the purpose of Corvair engines and other related good buys that might be relevant to someone. I myself have tried to locate as many sources for these engines to help the movement as much as I can. So, Thank you Bruce, you have helped me greatly in procuring my engines, as I know you will help many more. PS, Here's another one about half way down the page #124. Might be a good lead, no time to check it out myself. _http://raleigh.craigslist.org/pts/866756851.html_ (http://raleigh.craigslist.org/pts/866756851.html) Michael J.
