HELP ME HELP A VET
 
Hi Guys:

Our club recently lost a long time member a WWII vet, Msgt John Hockenburry, USAF Ret. He was a typical Master Sgt., honery, super critical to those he liked well, and willing to do or help anyone. His nasty gruff voice will be greatly missed at the field. He leaves his Son John Jr., a Vet of Vietnam on full disability from shell shock. Dad leaves a Focus in the box along with other typical pattern gear, something Jr. flys and enjoys. I am trying to get this thing going for the kid. My problem is the engine, a OS 140 RX, pumped. If it was a YS or about anything else, no problem. The rear pump case has "IN" and OUT stamped on the case. There is no needle valve. I need to know the intended plumbing OS layout to the tank and carb, or a web site that may contain that information. I have a remote needle valve that will work between the carb and fuel source. Some direction would be most appreciated. Also, he has a piped Hano 60 in another plane. The engine is starving for fuel, has lots of hours on it, and I assume the pump is worn out. If any of you have one you will let go very reasonably, please let me know. Your assistance to this deserving vet will be most appreciated. Thank you
Roger Menke

Here is a PDF of the OS140RX Manual:
http://manuals.hobbico.com/osm/140rx-manual.pdf
This is the Fuel Injected Manual:
http://manuals.hobbico.com/osm/140rx-fi-manual.pdf

Don't know if that contains the info you seek??

Also...You may read through this with regards to the Hanno:
