Dear Mr. Baker: I have been a mechanics enthusiast since I was old enough to hold a screwdriver in my hand. I am old school, I have learned from the experience and advice that great engine professionals have given me over the years in their workshops. Then KZbin arrived and my mechanic friends could take a break from a nosy parker customer. I want to thank you for your great work on the channel. You remind me of that time when I visited workshops trying to fight my ignorance. Also, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge altruistically, that says many nice things about you. Some tips and tricks I've seen are the best I've heard since the invention of the wheel... -the carpenter's pencil is my favorite-. I have a 377, 532 - that contact points give me a lot of trouble, anyway is a challenge - and my favorite 582/90... just for the love of old school ROTAX engines. I'd like to commend you for the effort you've put into your project. Congratulations Mr Baker! God bless you!

I admire your continued drive to learn and also the professionals whom were kind enough to share with you. I very much enjoy presenting on my KZbin channel. My original KZbin concept was to post topics to assist my customers therefore saving me time explaining over the phone. It just kinda expanded from there. Now if I’ve got something I believe will be of value to someone it hits my channel. It is an honour to pass on my knowledge. I believe passing on information to make the flying sport safer and more enjoyable is a must. Thank you for your kind comments, happy flying!

I would like to see a video on syncing duel bing 54 carbs with a homemade water monometer, and or a video on best way to decarbon a 582

[@JohnBaker-og4zp]

Sound good to me. The “staff of carburetor” video will be out soon. The sync and decarbon are on the list

[@markpacey1009]

I don't know if you've done this already. I can't seem to find it if you have, but I would greatly apricate a video on gnition timing the Ducati dual ignition on a 503.

[@RotacRepair]

You are correct there isn’t one, however there will be soon. It’s on the list.
