Unfortunately i no longer have a hangar, and I do not have shop space large enough for floats right now.
I am just trying to keep them intact until somebody buys them at a bargain price.

I put RV antifreeze inside the compartments of some EDO 2000s.
Today a prospective buyer came by to look at them and the floats had ice inside. It has not really been super cold.
I mentioned this...

Been in the high teens for a couple nights here in the hills above Homer Alaska.
But it was 40 in the sunlight this afternoon.
We had snow a couple days ago but it all melted.

FIXED Carb has been re-installed.
New Primer Lines fabricated.
Primer nozzles cleaned out.
Now Starts immediately.
Runs great.
No Leaking fuel.
Potential buyers have so far just been tire...

In in the hills above Homer Alaska....

I meant that the PA-18 is narrower than the PA-12. Not the floats.

Now the fuel inside the float will not come out. It has been hanging for a over a week now and the fuel level inside has stayed the same.
Pure Friggen Magic....

The Feds charge an aircraft operator criminally for flying without a license following an accident.
There must be a lot more to this story.

The fitting going into the cylinders were just fine. The major spraying leak was up above the carb behind the engine. Somewhat concealed.
The is a splitter fitting that sends gas from...

Well, I found a couple sets of EDO 2000s set up for PA-18s and another set in town that are on a PA-12 with 18 style gear.
My measurements are the same as the other PA-12.
The PA-18 set-ups are...

As a follow up to my previous, and poorly explained, post about my leaking carb on the 12.
It turned out the float decided to be a submarine. See attached photo. So it filled full of fuel and...

I will give that a try.
Just measuring without anyone to help hold the other end of the tape, I came out with the following on mine
BOLT TO BOLT
28.5 inches for the rear struts
50.5 for the...

I have some EDO 2000s which I never installed.
They are supposed to be for a PA-12 with PA-18 style gear legs.
I am going to sell the plane and floats. ( Gotta find something more bad hip...

A friend of mine who ties up his plane near me has a cracked jug on his Lyc-O-235-C1. He can't find another jug anywhere.
I would have thought there would be all sorts of jugs out there from old...

It was parked for a few months after the annual. Something may have contaminated the system due to a tank change.
Not sure about the fuel that was sitting in the carb bowl. Leaks out the carb...

Atlee Dodge custom shop will make you an aluminum tank for your J4.

Just as winter was starting the new Aluminum fuel tanks finally were installed. With the interior baffles they weigh the same as the old steel tern-plate tanks. I was somewhat surprised. That...

It would help if it was not so darn cold and windy. After 64 Alaskan winters, ( well minus a few when was overseas) I am rather sick and tired of working out in the elements.

Where I fly, we have to deal with maritime weather. So we use the nautical weather system a lot of the time.
Plus you have to think about things like fog created by cold fresh water rivers running...

Mine has a PA-18 slider on top of the PA-12 seat frame. The last owner was considerably shorter than I am. I have a seaplane door.
PA-11 and PA-18s are easier for me to get into by sitting on the...

I owned and instructed in a lightweight J3 converted to a PA-11 90 horse for over 12 years. On wheels and floats it was the most fun plane I have ever flown. 4 to 5 gallons an hour of car gas at...

I was hornswaggled . After months of waiting for a spot, I got my 12 into an IAs hangar for a rather extensive annual. My 100LL was removed into a drum for new fuel tanks to be installed.
One...

My 12 has the old two valve system and one header tank.

Does anyone have a link to a good fuel system diagram ?

Mine are currently stock tanks with Dakota Cub sight glass.

How are Univar Tanks?
