Hood River OR Fly-In Sept 10-11, 2022
Hood River Fly-In here on the west coast this coming weekend. This is an annual event here in the Pacific Northwest, usually a dozen 120-140's show up, a handful of 170's, plus maybe 150+ antique and classic planes. Great event and they really cater to the pilots. The museum is outstanding and the a...

Re: What's the best lubricant for fuel tank caps?
EZ Turn, the gaskets I can get nowadays are a tad thicker than the originals. EZ Turn will last me most of the flying season. It's rather thick, whitish, and very tenacious.

AN826-6-4-2D gascolator T for 170 ragwing
I noticed at my local FBO that he had one of these used/servicable on the odds and ends shelf (the T fitting past the gascolator that leads to the primer pump). He wants $20. My 120/140 gang hasn't piped up so I thought if any of the early ragwing 170 gang needed one of these (instead of building it...

Re: 1948 fuel selector valve
Some old discussion on the 120-140 website regarding the Imperial valves is that o-rings are used now, either 1 or 2 depending on the spring tension on the selector shaft. MS29513-011 or 012 I think. I have a notation about MS28777 something about the washer on the cap (bonnet). One member tried a f...

A similar thread on the 120-140 website. Of interest is the post of letters from the FAA regarding compliance.

Re: 0-300 dipstick gasket thick/thin
Was thinking the same thing. Plus, there are some mogas users amongst us (for a short while longer as we can no longer find the stuff). Standard proceedure is to soak the stuff for a week or so before using it as even when we're told it's fuelproof or suitable for fuel systems we've been disappointe...

Re: 0-300 dipstick gasket thick/thin
Well, to expand a bit, the gasket on the 0-200 fits both the dipstick and the fuel cap. Some owner-produced caps we have seem to prefer a slightly thinner gasket as opposed to the 1/8th" gasket that seems 'standard'. Not knowing any better I was googling around and found a note that 0-300's hav...

Re: 0-300 dipstick gasket thick/thin
Oh my! I guess that is quite different. Yup, never really looked at an 0-300 close, kinda reminds me of a Franklin. I suspect I need to look more at the Lycoming drivers, I seem to recall they have a 'dipstick' such as I'm accustomed to! Thanks for the education-

0-300 dipstick gasket thick/thin
Would anyone of you know the dimensions of your 0-300 dipstick gaskets? My 0-200 dipstick gasket measures 2 1/4" OD by 1 3/8" ID. I understand the Continental may have two different thickness' on their 0-300 gaskets, part number 300641 (thick) and 300642 (thin). My 0-200 is 1/8" thick...
