WHY NO MORE INTRODUCTIONS FROM MEMBERS?WHY HAVE ONLY 3 MEMBERS INTRODUCED THEMSELVES? Everyone on here should have a little bit to tell us about themselves, what they are doing, etc.
You don't have to write a book!
Nearly 600 members registered here - Only 3 replying? What is that in percent? Where's my calculator?

Just for comparison, I am going to try to post a photo of my "Reductions" EA-81, built by the late Dave Johnson of Canada. Looks like my prop is a lot higher than the other engine photo.

Good advice - I haven't had a Harley for years - Going to check with my flying buddy about size of fuel lines and shutoffs for his Hardly.

Joey, Thanks for letting us know. I hadn't heard about the crash. It is always so painful to hear of losing our servicemen. I am sure this one is especially hard for you being so close to them and to the "family" of the KC-135 comunity. Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to all of the families. Thank you for letting us know about the tribute.

Thanks Randy! But I'm afraid that between her mother and me, she don't have a snowballs chance in hell of having much sense! I seem to be lacking on it in a big way As long as she is healthy I can't ask for anything more!
Shotgun is loaded, along with an arsenal of other assorted weapons. Plus she will have a big brother who just loves to fight and is good at it.. I don't see me having boy problems for awhile

Willis,
Thanks for posting the photo's; it looks like you are real close. Like Ed said, did you build up your soob or did you get one from a builder? What redrive is that? Is it a gear drive? I noticed an oil line or something running to the front of the unit.

Congrats Leni, I am sure she will be a beautiful litte girl! This should keep you young into retirement keeping the shotgun cleaned sitting on the porch. We were blessed to have one of each; and even more that our girl has always had a good sensible head on her shoulders . My recommendation is teach them to shoot and hunt early. One of the first things she told her husband when they got married was that every red blooded American man needs a gun.

Would you like to pay tribute the crewmembers of the KC-135 that crashed last week?For those not familiar we lost a KC-135 tanker flying an operational mission in the middle east last week. 3 young brave Aviators lost thier lives. This really hits home for me because I flew 2500 hrs and 7 years on the KC-135 as a Boom Operator. This particular crew was from Fairchild AFB, Washington which was my last assignment and I personally knew the Boomer. The 135 community is very tight knit and the outpouring of support has been amazing.
A wife of a tanker pilot stationed at Fairchild started a website selling some really nice shirts. Her goal was 200 shirts and they have now sold over 2200!! The price is $23.50 shipped and 100% of the proceeds are going to the family members of those lost.
Please consider grabbing one of these shirts in memory of the crew of Shell 77

Only true test is under load condition. Your under load test shows solenoid is bad.

Project update: Firewall mods are complete so the cooling and oil lines and oil bottle now fit with the engine moved back the 1/2 inch. It's amazing how much can be affected by one small change! The cowl also now fits so I am starting on all the plumbing and wiring. Maybe I will be flying in another month or so. Fingers crossed.

Congrats Leni! Girl, boy, boy here. We never asked so all of ours were surprises. Of course I was there for each delivery with a catcher's mitt. When our first was born, my wife said I blurted out... "It's a split-tail!"

Nice post.
Reminds me of an old Joni Mitchell song:
Late last night
I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi
Took away my old man
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
Till it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

As I understand, one can supply power to either large post of a starter solenoid because it is internally grounded via the body or mount, and the coil is energized by supplying power from the switch to the tab lug. Jumping from the hot side post to the energizing spade tab lug with ignition switch wire removed from the spade lug will power the starter (or not if the starter solenoid is bad). Again, don't want to steer anyone wrong, but I can't see how this would hurt anything as a quick field test if you don't have access to a meter.
However -and one must be careful here- a master battery solenoid works just the opposite, ie. the coil is connected to the battery side internally and you turn it on by supplying ground to the other side of the coil. Read: don't put power to both large posts on a master relay unless you need a new one!
I did not test the Denso soleniod by jumping from the (+) hot line side post to the energizing tab lug. Rather, I grounded the Denso solenoid by holding the metal base against the car battery (-) post and used a long screwdriver to connect the (+) battery post to the Denso energizing spade tab lug. I get a single clicks rather than multiple, repeated clicks or buzzing. After I reinstalled the starter solenoid, I get a solid buzz when the ignition key is turned to the Start position.
Battery is fully charged and no loose electrical connections found. Volt reading to hot side of solenoid with Master On is 11.95v. With meter (+) probe to spade connector from ignition switch line (disconnected from solenoid) and meter (-) probe grounded to solenoid mount is 11.95v. Volt reading with all solenoid leads attached and solenoid body mounted/grounded to firewall, meter (+) probe to solenoid output post, meter (-) probe grounded to solenoid mount and ignition switch turned to Start, is -3.11v.
Sure seems like the starter solenoid is shot. But I tested it outside the plane again (base grounded to (-) battery terminal, jumper wire from (+) battery terminal to solenoid exciter spade connector lug) and got the same result as before, ie. single click when activated, which suggests it is ok???
Frustrating. I've ordered the following replacement solenoid recommended on the Rotax-owners.com forum:
Replacement Starter Solenoid for Honda tractors:
P/N #31204-ZA0-003
Honda Code 2108298
