I believe this is one reason the carb-to-intake gasket is so thick -- thermal insulation.

Re: crankcase ventilation
So....air/oil separators are common on aircraft (also aircooled), and often the subject of much debate. Some say they're super smart, and others say it's like putting a tube from your mouth to your, well, "backside". Read some arguments here: https://cessnaowner.org/point-counterpoint-do-y...

Re: crankcase ventilation
Rather that compare the Pinz engine to a lawn mower, I'd say the crankcase ventilation system is comparable to the VW engines of the era in which it was designed.

Re: 710K front-to-back CG?
Since no one had this data to share, I went off and borrowed some racing scales to collect data. Here's what I learned: All numbers are with the truck fully-fueled. Additionally, the truck has the standard tool kit, and a ham radio setup with a 20Ah Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery and stubb...

Yes, send them to JimL down in San Bernardino. He'll test them on a real engine after rebuilding them.

Upper left in the attached photo, just to the left of the red flasher knob. The white knob above the socket turns on the power to that socket.

Re: Power Port Connection
Anyone hooked up a light/rotating beacon via the power port? Any info on the appropriate connector that goes in there?.....Light etc.? No need to go to EI for it. It's a common connector. BMW Triumph Tiger Ducati Motorcycles, for example. It's a Euro thang. Here's a product that uses it, for exampl...

Re: Removing window on 710
Same as mentioned by others -- mine were tightly stuck and it took some quality time with a thin putty knife and patience so things don't get bent. Likely heating it would help as well.
Be careful when you put it back on that you don't plug up the drain hole.

I used butyl rubber sealant tape for the joint. https://www.mcmaster.com/products/sealant-tape/material~butyl/ Butyl rubber is the stuff I see used most in automotive when you need to seal two pieces of body panel together, but would like to be able to separate them.

Re: Ethanol proof carb and pump?
Lots of us have no choice other than E10, and I've not heard/read of gasket/diaphragm related issues. Just the normal water/corrosion issues that come with E10 vs. E0.

Re: 2013 CB Performance Black Box Programmable Timing Control Module
I see some advantages: -you keep your stock gear, so in case of problem with the electronic, it's not a big job to revert to centrifugal weights for advance control (just unlock them) -you can customize and load a timing advance map from their software -it has a MAP sensor to which you feed your va...

Spare bendix drive (old gen), anyyone?
I've swapped my old gen starter for an EI version, but I'd like to fix up the OEM starter. Its bendix doesn't always engage, so I'm looking for a replacement bendix drive. I believe it's part #09-30-60. Anyone?

Re: Starter sometimes fails to engage
The starter is in now, and has successfully completed three starts. Subjectively, I'd say it spins about the same speed as the original, but with the expected additional gear noise that comes standard with gear-reduction starters. The EI starter is much lighter than OEM. My hints for others doing an...

Re: Starter sometimes fails to engage
First, it turns out the starter was mis-assembled from Scott's factory, and required partial disassembly and re-clocking. Required an impact wrench to loosen the two bolts that secure the mounting flange. Two issues remain, one small one bigger. Small issue: The starter motor compresses the sound-de...
