Hi list,
Have something to report to the list, and a
request.
I was having problems with my generator after
overhaul. I could not get it
to start putting out voltage.
I figured I would tackle the problem later in the
summer.
But one day as I was up flying I noticed the
voltage starting to creep up
from 12 volts to 13 volts over the period of a
couple of minutes. The generator is now
working fine and has shown no tendency towards
further problem.
After consulting with some antique car buffs they
suggest that sometimes it takes a
while for the old generators to regain their
magnetism. It may also have had something to do
with the fact that I was only doing circuits and
did not let the engine rev up for a long time to its
cruising speed.
Now the request.
I am about to do my annual, and have to do some
work on the MLG. It am starting to get some
shimmy in the gear. I have done work on
this area before but always ran into some problems.
So here are my questions.
1. What is the proper tool for removing the
large flutted nut on the tubular pin whihc holds the lower leg to the upper
leg?
2. What is the best way to remove the pin from the
assembly without damaging the thread?
3. What parts normally need to be replaced to solve
the shimmy problem?
4. I am using the cup and the o-ring on the shock,
but last time I put the cups on I had
a heck of a problem getting them into the
shock tube. What is the best way to get the cup into the
shock tube.
5. When does one need to replace the
large hollow pin due to age and are they easily available?
Thanks in advance for the help and the useful
comments in past positings.
