RE: MOKI RADIAL Care and Maintenence

Does anyone know right off what the thread is on the exhaust? I am still looking at running 5 straight megaphone stacks and would like to not cut up the stock tubes that match the collector ring......

RE: MOKI RADIAL Care and Maintenence

Pull the #3 out and see if it is fouled.. IF it is black and wet that one is your issue.. Spray some carb cleaner into the lid of the can and put the plug in it and let it soak for a bit.. Take it...

RE: MOKI RADIAL Care and Maintenence

I know around here at most flyins if you have a gas engine you must have a secondary kill method. A ignition kill or choke kill is accepted practice..

RE: MOKI RADIAL Care and Maintenence

Iff all cylinders were hitting initially then the only other fast idle culprit could be the throttle linkage over traveling and twisting the throttle arm on the carb thus not bringing it back to low...

RE: MOKI RADIAL Care and Maintenence

I would susect that you might have been carrying a dead cylinder on the ground while setting your idle but once in the air and cleared out it picked it back up so when you landed you had fire in all...

RE: MOKI RADIAL Care and Maintenence

I decided against the open stacks.. I pulled the collector ring off mine and put larger dumps on it, .875" and it gave it a little more crackle ..

Here is a Valach radial with open stacks, I did...

RE: MOKI RADIAL Care and Maintenence

Would seem that it would have to be a clunk following issue not following the fuel during slow or hesitation rolling maneuvers. A fast roll would tend to sling the clunk with the fuel. Maybe the...

RE: MOKI RADIAL Care and Maintenence

Ran the 215 somemore on the bench.. I ran it about 5 minutes at mid throttle then opened it WOT and it tached 4800rpm still a little on the rich side with a Bolly 32X14.. It idles very nicely at 700...

RE: MOKI RADIAL Care and Maintenence

I have run about a gallon through my used 215.

When I got the engine I noticed immediately that #2 cylinder seemed to less compression than the others with #1 being the highest. While running...

RE: MOKI RADIAL Care and Maintenence

Looks like it should insulate well..

Just a bit of advice though..

BE careful lubing the rockers that you DO NOT get any saturation of lube on the wrap. The wrap is not flammable but it...

RE: MOKI RADIAL Care and Maintenence

My dealing on the NIB 215 is not going too well.. HE is VERY firm on what he wants for it and it is more than I am willing to give for a "Used" motor in the warrantee department..

The 250 is a...

RE: MOKI RADIAL Care and Maintenence

The Nikasil in my opinion is the better of the two.. I know Mercury originally used the Chrome in the 2.4 liter 220 laser motors and they had the habit of flaking after a while.. They then went to...

RE: MOKI RADIAL Care and Maintenence

I had considered the 250 but with the plane only coming in around 36-38 lbs and wanting to stay with a 30-32" prop max diameter I thought the 215 might be the wiser power choice.There are guys flying...
