We are back with the Cherokee 6-300 and today we will be trying to get this airplane to start up after several years of sitting. Having gone over the log books and come to the realization that all the discrepancies were taken care of at one time or another, if we can start this engine today this plane could be worth a lot of money. Will this be a seamless recovery or did we bit off more than we can chew with this rescue? Find out in this episode!

[@budmidgett3812]

Too many projects started, not enough finished.

[@Amplitudeification]

Each one takes allot of time. Getting parts, getting props, engines, Mags, and other things rebuilt or inspected, all takes allot of time. To put it in context, if you ever watched a TV show like Bitchin Rides, allot of those builds took two years or longer. So, the production company was sitting on footage for 2 years or more before they could actually edit it into an episode, or a couple of episodes that cover a project from start to finish. Now, that is custom cars, not aviation. One is allot more expensive and regulated with necessary inspections than the other.

[@stevesamsel6602]

So far this is looking like an awesome rescue. Not only did the engine start right up, but we found a "Birds Nest". It's a winner for sure. Thanks Jason, for ALL you do. Glad to be part of the Team.

[@rebuildrescue]

We are super excited about it too, thank you for watching and supporting!

[@AviationOutdoorAdventures]

Jason using that paper towel on that windshield made me cringy with all the dirt on it.

[@cruiserflyer]

Same

[@ts49684]

Stuff like that. Basic things show the lack of knowledge on Jason's part. The years of dirt and grime will scratch that window the way he is cleaning it. Soap and water in a spray bottle. Soak that window as if a bucket of water was poured on it. Alcohol base products will turn plexiglass windows yellow. FYI

[@lyianx]

@@ts49684 Pretty sure it was just water, not Alcohol. Given the bottle was clear, and not translucent (and ive only seen alcohol in translucent bottles). But still, windshield should have been dosed in soapy water first thing, get all that loose dirt off of it.

I hope the folks at Better Help are helped you and the crew with your own struggles. I know you gotta put on a happy face for the camera, but I also know how hard it would be if someone close to me passed away flying a plane I had just worked on.

[@thewrenchreviews9986]

Keep it coming Jason, the dream never fades.....never.

[@tonyleverett1483]

Sam would be proud of what you're doing.

[@rchighfield1]

In my experience you should never use oil in place of antisieze. The extreme heat in combustion chambers will burn the oil and become carbon. Your plugs will become stuck.

[@jerrywilcox9890]

Not true at all

[@buckmurdock2500]

probably should follow the manufacturer guidance since that's what the regs say . . .

[@i.r.wayright1457]

It is good practice to hook up the + battery terminal first, before the ground terminal. That way, you will not start a fire if your tool touches metal when connecting the hot wire. When removing a battery, disconnect ground first. (A&P, 101) Surprised you didn't get a big spark at 26:35. I was working in a hangar full of new planes, when a co-worker informed me he had a fire in the nose of an Aztec. He got on the battery plus terminal first and his tool touched the heater fuel line, arcing a hole in it and poof. I asked him, "Don't you think it would be a good idea to put it out?" I causally grabbed a fire bottle and extinguished it. We just had to replace the fuel line and clean some dark smoke smudges off the underside of the radio compartment shelf. @8:20, IF there is a bushing in the tab sticking up from the lower cowl, that engages the pin at the front of the top cowling, I would replace it. (@9:30 OMG, that looks like a home made bracket with no bushing at all.) Original bushings don't last as long as the upgraded ones from an aftermarket company. If the pins are snug in the bushings, the cowls will last longer, won't vibrate and it will be quieter. Don't wash a Brackett air filter. Read the label on the bag it comes in. When it's dirty throw it away, or stick it in your lawnmower. At 20:02 there aren't any screws holding the muffler shroud together. When are you going to fix that? Here's another tip: Cut the bottom out of an empty oil bottle. Now you have a disposable funnel. Don't wipe a plexiglas windshield unless you first throw a bucket of water over it to get the loose grit off first. Jason, I hope you don't mind my constructive criticism, but all of us old A&P/I.A. types that watch you need to give you help when we can.

[@jerrywilcox9890]

It doesn't matter what one you hook up first 😂.

[@2321brendan]

@@jerrywilcox9890 It does. If you hook up black first (connected to metal fuselage)and your spanner touches the red terminal and another metal part of aircraft you will get sparks. If you Hook up red first , and touch spanner against red + and fuselage ,no sparks. The circuit is not complete as the fuselage is not connected to -Black. You should always disconnect at least black when working on aircraft or cars. That way any part of the metal body is dissconnected from the battery. Always disconnect black first and reconnect black last. Go out and try it on your car.Google it🤣🤣

[@2321brendan]

@@jerrywilcox9890 Of course. You are never wrong . Cant possibly be . Done it this way forever ,so it must be good. Cant possibly learn anything new after 37 years hey? Go out to your car. Take off positive cable. Then grab a metal object. Place metal object across positive terminal and a bare metal part of the vehicle. Make sure you are holding on real tight. Push firmly. Make sure there is a fuel leak nearby,prefferably gasoline. Or an overcharged battery 37 years is no guarantee it cant go wrong tomorrow.

[@combatmedic1980]

What happened about a COMPRESSION test, having spark and fuel and crosshatching means nothing if the valves are not sealing.

[@cruiserflyer]

There's no point in a compression test on a cold engine. You need to heat things up in order for the test to be meaningful in any way. He did a borescope inspection before starting, that's better than compression tests anyway.

FOAM filter have washable and need wash dry and oiled. many car have too foam filter, paper filter not can wash and use second time.

[@user-kc7uj7ql4f]

Bracket air filters are required to be replaced at annual they come with a date tag they can be dusted off when dirty but not washed and reoiled like a k&n air filters read the 337 docs and instructions that you receive from them

[@KurtFlunkn]

Would you say that they followed methods, techniques, and practices prescribed in the current manufacturer's maintenance manual or Instructions for Continued Airworthiness prepared by its manufacturer, or other methods, techniques, and practices acceptable to the Administrator?
