I tried to remove the prop driver on my Fox 45
with heat and prying it with 2 screwdrivers, but no dice. The prop driver is in there real tight. I was heating it with a heat gun. Should I go to oven or crockpot for loosening the prop driver?
Another sad story: I was flying my plane with a compact Fox 40 (C-case) that has the iron piston and stell sleeve. I flew it a couple of tankfuls and then suddenly it began to act up. I noticed that there was some dirt that got on the engine. I cleaned it thoroughly at home and took it back today for flying. The engine now quits suddenly at WOT even though it starts, idles, and transitons nicely. Seems like a compression loss when the engine heats up?
Any ideas to help with either engine is greatly appreciated.
