RE: Engine - First run!
Can you guys confirm my layout for the fuel probe that I will install:
1. Install fuel probe in cowling.
2. Insert the airplane's current "fuel tank-to-carb" line onto one fitting on the probe (perhaps inserting a fuel filter in between).
3. Cut a new length of line to go from the other probe fitting and route to carb.
I assume that when filling, there is a one-way valve that only allows fuel to go into the tank. When engine is running, fuel runs from the tank, thru the probe, and onwards to the carburetor. Is this correct? I think it's a Great Planes probe.
Finally, what purpose does the 3rd line coming from the fuel tank serve, if any? Is it simply there so that one can have a filling line as opposed to the probe?
thanks
