Yea... Blow a can of Fix-A-Flat in there and it should work good as
new.. :-) Jon Kraus '79 Mooney 201 wrote: Hi group, There are larve in my static ports again. The problem is that I do not have compressed air to blow them out. I was thinking about using CO2 cartridges like they use for emergency tire repairs. Or maybe a bicycle pump will do the job. My concern is the max pressure I can use before I damage something. I know that I have to de-couple the static lines from the instruments. I'm going to try to build something to block the ports. The ports are about 1/8"dia. and 1/4" deep. A pin will do the job but I'm afraid that even a small remove-before-flight flag will pull them out in some wind. -Kees.
