Hi again.....during the annual inspection we (ame) and I, discovered that the static line (rubber hose) was detached from the steel line at the wing root. This is the same steel line that runs along the pitot line from the right wing. anyway, we connected it again but have not had a chance to fly th...

thanks for the info Nathan. Think i may wait to borrow the tool.

Hi guys, have a new set of brake shoes and rivets coming. is it possible to do this job without the brake rivet tool? if so what are my options?

thanks again for your help Joe, name is Wade by the way. I'm not sure what the deal is with the internet hook up. i will try what you have suggested and hope for the best. I usually access the site via a shortcut on my desk top. It seems to want to connect but then just slows down and grinds to a st...

Hi there, have been connecting to this site with my lap top for over a year now with no issues. i have not been on the site for a few months, but have been trying to access it now for a few weeks and keep getting a "internet explorer cannot display the web page" messege. this is the only s...

Hi guys!!! time for my first annual on the Champ. I have a good ame who is helping me with this one. he has done alot of fabric/wood/tube inspections, but is a little new on Aeronca's. I do have the yellow covered service manual for my plane, but is there, or does anyone have a annual inspection che...

what are the available options for certified carb stc's for the Champ with the c-85. Still trying to sort out all my options with my carb troubles. I have heard of the lowe stc, which enables you to put a 0-200 carb on the c-85. Are there any other available carbs, or are we limited to either the MS...

Hi guys, what should the min/max full power static rpm be for my Champ. I am running a C-85 with a McCauley 1B90-CM7146. However the prop has been repitched to a 43. I realize that there are many variables here, ie density alt, engine condition, mixture, etc. what i am after is a min or max guidelin...

I am in desperate need of a complete carb assembly for a C-85.
MS part number is 10-4240-1.
would prefer rebuilt but will entertain any condition....thanks!!!!

thanks for the info mikeK...that is exactly what i was after...WELL DONE!!! And yes this is not something i would do on my own.....i actually don't have an ame helping me.... i thought it would be better if i had three :D :D :D . Two of them are airline ame's that I fly with, that want to learn more...

Hi guys, decided to try and overhaul my Stromberg to start with. I have downloaded a bunch of info regarding float setup and needle types etc. What i am missing is the Stromberg overhaul manual, believe it is a bout a 15 page document. Does anyone know if this manual is available somewhere to be dow...

I still have not decided if i am going to rebuild the Stromberg or keep trying to track down a MS carb. Up until about 5 days ago i was one of those guys who had no complaints with the stromberg carb. I started to have partial power loss issues at take off rpm and we have tracked it to a neoprene ne...

So what are the differences between all the part numbers, so lets say a 4894 which would fit on a 0-200,versus a 4240 that is matched up to a C-85. Is the body itself the same with different jetting or other internal parts? The 3 listings on E-bay are a 10-2983, a 4115, and a 4894. They are all MA3S...

Hi guys, i am starting a search to place a MS carb on my champ (C-85-8) I am sure the info is somewhere, but i cannot seem to locate it. What is the exact part # i need to fit my engine? I know its a MA3SPA, and i am thinking that it may be a 10-4240-1. If this is correct is this the ONLY one that w...

Hi again...have a minor fuel gauge leak when the tanks is full. took it apart today an found that the PO had placed three paper thin gaskets on the assembly. One on the back portion of the flange and two on the front part. As bad as it sounds it actually held for quite some time. So the question is:...
