![]() Jim Burns wrote: I've been reading the POH for an older Piper Apache 150 lately and it suggests pulling the prop through several times in cold weather. (I'm just assuming to circulate some oil through the engine and prop hub, but then again just how much would actually circulate when it's cold??) Although the Apache has Lycoming engines, I too wonder if this is a carry through from the radial days. But the point should be, we need to try to elevate ourselves from the 50-year-old advice in those old references, and try to do what makes sense today, with the advances in lubricating oils which were not available when those old instructions were written. |
