Subject: [FlyRotary] Re: Cooling Problem
Thanks for the encouragement, Ed. The problem is
definitely lack of
coolant flow as the rad does not even get medium
warm. I do have
ducting to the rad, but have only run it with the
cowl off so far. Theproblem is circulation, no doubt. How to fix
that is still the big
question. I am thinking about installing an
in-line thermostat from
C&R. Do you think that there is any chance that
the lack of back
pressure is causing the coolant to not flow well?
If you think it might be a flow problem:
(Do this on a warm day. You're gonna get WET!)
Disconnect several hoses. Run a water hose out to
the plane and stick it into the end of each
disconnect. Try both directions. Use a rag wrapped
around the end of the hose to make a seal. All the
components should flow better than the water hose. You should be able to tell which component is
restricting the flow.
Have you tried that already?
