New diaphragm working great, maintains fuel pressure even after shutting down engine. Then & Now ignoring my q's about their diaphragm and as another poster already stated, their springs break (!).

I am now trying another source of diaphragms, and have modified my original pullrod assy to take a loktited 10-32 stainless truss head screw instead of the staking method. (Apparently some take a nut). So far it looks good, hooked up to the fuel lines and pressurized with electric pump, no...

Thanks Ron. There should be no oil in front of the piston, it's all supposed to be behind the two o rings that serve as piston rings. How do you turn the headless bolt? Machine two flats on the bolt body? I was looking at the larger adjuster, looks like it is made of Al with 1.75"-20 tpi or...

Well the source I had in mind (Prince Aircraft) hemmed and hawed and then decided it was too much work. They kept my sample ferrule and allen head lag screws that I sent them. Pretty poor show for a well-known outfit. There is another option but it's a European outfit and they want nothing to do...

Pls post the photos again Larry (or anyone!)

anyone care to post a drawing or photo of the spinner supports for the F200 and the F200H?

An update: 3 months and about 5 hours in, the diaphragm I got from Then and Now started leaking ... and since my mounting flange was not flat, I noted fuel dripping from that flange otherwise I would not have known. Took it out and could not see any visual defect. I suspect it's leaking through...

I bought a kit from Then & Now for my 14-13-2 and the diaphragm assembly looked correct and fit up fine. After running a few hours we developed a big fuel leak from the oil side of the diaphragm. Removed said assembly and cannot see any hole in diaphragm. I surmise the leak is through the center...

How do we get a copy? I have the same f200H prop for my Cruisair and needing documentation ..

I believe I have found an outfit that will make new blades for the Aeromatic. PM me if you want to go down that avenue. It's possible we may be able to get a volume discount. Right now we are looking at making A,B and/or C blades. I have a set of E blades that could serve as patterns but those...

Greg Lucas good man helped me out with prop bolts/spacers. And Mark Vik explained the seal (fat O ring). We are getting there!

Impossible to contact, does not respond to voice messages. I keep hearing he is reopening the business but if so, not any time soon?

I called that guy once, he promised to call back but never did. In the meantime, I found a source for a rebuild kit in MA. The diaphragm and internal parts are correct, the gasket to mount up to the engine is not but can be made. The kit no is FPA-98, found under "studebaker". It tolerates...

I found what looks to be a usable F200 with the altitude control. But I need 5 more prop bolts/bushings, it only came with 3. And also trying to figure out what seal(s) the chamber where the oil exits the crankshaft nose and enters the prop hub tube ... there does not appear to be any provision...

OK well it turned out some geniuses in Caldwell Idaho pulled the fuel pump top half to grind the mounting surfaces flat; then reinstalled it without taking care to fully distend the diaphragm before tightening the screws. This caused ovality in the holes including the center hole; which in turn...

Finally made the flight from AZ to TX in my 14-13-2. Long story but 4 shops and about $35K later the bird is in my hangar. En-route at cruise at about 7500 ft, noticed something strange with fuel pressure. Or right tank full, newly rebuilt gauge showed only 2lbs pressure at first. When tank got...

N541A Seems to have fallen on hard times. Last flown 2013.

Shop says no STC, need a "DER", to get approval for an alternator conversion in a 14-13-2. Generator seems to be on the blink and it weighs a ton. Any suggestions?

"Regarding your Oil Gauge cluster; since its radioactive it will take a month to complete work, it will finally be on the bench Monday, then they will call with price since they have to decontaminate then work on it, possibly beginning of September is the expected return. " Am I being conned...

Cruisair oil temp gauge that is ... is it supposed to look like this? It seems to be hanging up on the glass.
