Only wear was in topside of the oil cooler itself. Once bracket cracked the broken portion rubbed. Not through but on its way. Thanks for reply.

That sure would make it a simpler solution and one without, as you highlight, a bend taking all the “load”. Thanks Steve.

Turbo Beaver, what bracket and starter did you end up working with?

Doing bit of research as I have ran into second occurrence of the oil cooler bracket cracking. First time (2017) I was able to have it repaired. This time around, not so interested in playing...

I am in process of switching from the Whip Electric Hydraulic pump to a manual pump for reduced failure points in my wheel/ski system. I like the looks of the switching Swagelock valve you are...

I own an Explorer. Great as a backup GPS unit in flight and fantastic while on the ground exploring after flights into the backcountry. Easy buttons to operate. Great tracking for loved ones to...

That’s how I operate. Ski mode for XCountry.

I’ve got several winters on my GLH 3000 fit to a PA-18 150HP. I live in SE AK (Juneau) and don’t have option of low altitude consistent snow/freezing temps so most of my operation is on the Juneau...

Parker still does. You are right, big surprise at the price tag. A Series 914 costs approx $4000 after a valve/selector switch and valve body are purchased. Then I look on here and people are...

Dang!

I am searching for a reasonably priced Parker Hand Pump series 914 as you have and am having 0 luck. I saw the one in Stoddards but am hesitant to purchase with worry of not being able to find parts...

Keep this thread updated as I'm already setup with electric pump with Glh 3000 and want to convert to the hand pump. Still need to source said hand pump. Any make and model info is appreciated. The...

How about in temps below 10-20F. No visible moisture in flying environment. Is it still applicable to apply carb heat every time reduced power operations prevail or will this potentially...

Flynlow, I think I either read your story or another very similar one somewhere else on here. Sounds like the carb heat in your instance was in fact introducing moisture, therefore allowing for ice...

All good options and viewpoints. Appreciated. I think the electrical one sticking around isn't likely. Who sells/manufactures the mechanical option?

I fly a PA-18. I kind of wondered myself when I started mountain flying with skis and definitely feel more comfortable with redundancy for critiacal applications such as this. Seems like I would...

No backup hand pump. I believe hydraulic pump is same one utilized for amphibious floats for wipaire products. Not sure how one flies and pumps when pump is located under seat of...

How about battery capacity at 0F... Alternator is charging per ammeter reading during flight. I keep on battery tender when the plane sits. Almost always has a resting voltage reading of 13VDC or...

SE AK, not a soul in sight

When referencing the carburetor ice probability charts, air temps below 10F seem to have a low to zero probability of carb ice development. I have had one time when flying in the 0-10F range with...

Don't know the age of relay.

I live in Unalaska but do most of my flying in SE AK. Unfortunately no place to store a cub in these parts. The recent issue occurred at 4,500 feet MSL outside Juneau with OAT of 0 F.

I have experienced this twice now and would like to avoid a third experience. When temps drop to 20F or below I have experienced odd electrical characteristics. I have confirmed...
