This is great! Enjoyed that. I’m thinking of buying a 1949 TaylorCraft. It has the 65 hp in it and hand-prop to start. Does yours have the 85 hp? Thanks

I know all you guys are going to think that this is crazy but the air service that did the flying at our remote camps in northern Canada ie minus 40 diluted the oil by feeding av gas into the oil hopper (Beavers and Otters) ran the engine till oil pressure dropped then shut it down. Did a preheat like the demo in the utube and after start up by the time the engine was up to normal temp all the gas would have evaporated. We also used same system on all our machinery. Cats ran the diesels all night only shut down for oil changes.

It’s ridiculous the efforts people go through to preheat these dinosaur legacy engines compared to their personal cars or trucks. My 915 has a limitation of -4°F before needing preheat.

Be careful with open flame near your engine. I had a engine fire with a similar setup, MSR stove and pipe. I think you need a flame arrestor grill. Better with a catalytic camping stove
@BrendanWells15 күн бұрын
For sure, I always monitor it closely when I'm using the stove. Curious what you think caused your fire?

I added a tannis engine block heater and two pads. My mini generator pushes it fine and it warms up the big engine quickly. Otherwise, I have a red dragon propane of which Ive never used…yet. As for engine covers…I’ve never had much faith in the big blanket types. By the numbers i haven’t seen much notable improvement. Ive always wondered why someone doesn’t design and make an INFLATIBLE one with a few layers. Lighter for sure, compact and vastly more R value than all these blanket type bulky engine covers. Thanks for sharing….and dont forget in the old days they drained the oil when they landed, put in a can, then heated it on the stove the next morning and poured it back in. Watch the OLD video “My Alaska” if you can find it

I've heard the tannis works well, just can't stomach the cost and complexity when I've got such good results for really cheap. Also yes I love the stories of draining the oil and heating it on the stove!

For the ultimate cheapest setup, I know lots of people just use oil pan heaters from NAPA... I think the EZ heat ones are pretty overpriced, but maybe worth it? And there are definitely cheaper MSR-type stove options. I just like the MSR because I trust them in extreme cold...

Normal tread 31"=32lbs. Heavy tread 31"=36lbs. 35"=44lbs. 6" wheel=10.8lbs 10" lightweight 10650 wheel=9.6lbs So I basically added 16 LBS TOTAL going from my old heavy tread 31" tires w/ 6" wheels to 35" tires w/ 10" wheels.

The problem is this stuff is overpriced by huge margins, the tires are not expensive in fact this type of tire has historically been the cheapest tire to produce but they are marked up 200 X because they know pilots will pay it.
