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.

Would use of this grade of oil cause a malfunction of the oil cooler bypass circuit? More viscous than the standard 40 weight?

For Cruiseair .. I have a perfectly good metal fixed pitch prop on the plane but they say the Aeromatic performs better on takeoff and right now we are marginal with two up, full fuel and a bit of baggage, especially in the summer. I have a line on one that needs new blades but would obviously...

Thought this topic deserved a new thread. I need one, my plane is stuck in AZ en route to TX. I contacted all the usual suspects, seems Pacific is the only vendor with an approval. They have a new aluminum cooler item 8002408 but the dimensions appear to be off (esp the mounting flange spacing...

Proud owner of n86826. New pilot, first plane, based in central TX however plane is still in ID. Going to try to ferry her down this coming week. Came with boxes of documents including an entire file of W&B stuff but the only envelope diagrams I could find were for the 14-19. The only factory...
