Hi all,
Right a have a Moki 180 with a perry pump and a smoke system.
The first problem was it kept dying when i was inverted,checked clunk and that was fine??
The second problem was a result of a dead stick due to the first problem.
Had a roungh landing in long grass and it kartwheeled,repaired the plane but the Moki has gone really tight! I thought maybe bent crank? So took it out of the plane and the four boults out the front to disconect it from the con-rod and the rest of the engine,my plan was to knock it out but its solid!
Can anyone with a little exsperiance shine some light on how to get it out? I had the case on two blocks of wood and was hitting the threaded side of the crank with a rubber mallet(and a nut on the threads!)But its not budged!
Thanks in advance
Carl

Does the Moki have a tapered split collet on it? Maybe it si crammed in to far???? With all rubber parts out...try some heat to get it apart. Not too much heat. Just a Idea. Capt,n
