<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Everything checks out except the crank

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN
class=070493204-09062005> Does it start Ok after it cools off? Make
sure you set the valve lash correctly. You shouldn't have a lot of
movement in the crank. That's another problem. At this point it is
probably worth sending it in for service. Most of the guys I know that are
flying YS have a backup motor - probably would be a good idea to find a
second one. That way you can get the plane in the air while your motor is
out for service. Before you send it in though, check the compression and
the valve lash. You might find something there.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I just fired my YS-91 up after the valve
cleaning. It fired immediately and had plenty of power while still
running rich. After running for a minute or two the rpm's started
fluctuating a bit. The more it ran the less rpm's I was able to
maintain. I heard a noticable rattle that seemed to be coming from
the engine area. After the engine ran for about 5 minutes, the
rpm's started to drop more. I leaned the needle a little and the
revs didn't increase, so I richened it back up and idled down, the motor
died. I felt the spinner to see if it was warm and it wasn't,
that's when I noticed the movement of the output shaft. My first
thought is the front bearing, I have quite a bit of movement up and down
and a little side to side.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I guess I'm not meant to fly this
plane. Does anybody know where I can get a good YS-91,
cheap?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think this one is going back to
YS.</FONT></DIV>
