Continental A-65 engine stall?

To All: Annd if you've done like most of us and wrapped an over-stretched screen-door spring around the exhaust stack, odds are it rusted itself into FOD during the Eisenhower administration. -R.S.Hoover Yes, I was concerned about the doorsprings corroding and breaking pieces off to be ingested into the carburetor since there isn't any sort of filter in the "warm" air path between the heat muff and the carb airbox... One thing that is different on my system now (since my recent top overhaul) is the addition of an air inlet on the engine baffle between the nosebowl and the cylinder (pilot side) with tubing running from it to the heat muff. My old system just had the inlet pipe of the Aeronca heat muff unconnected to anything and I noticed that the aluminum heat muff looked like it had melted a bit where it was contacting the exhaust pipe so I added the cool air inlet to help cool the heat muff a bit. Maybe it cools it too much and I'm just not getting enough heat, so increasing the surface area sounds like a good idea...just unsure of the method. I know I DO NOT want FOD running into the carb as that is SURE to cause the engine to react [not so] funny Scott |
