|
|
NOW THAT MY M-38 IS IN THE RE-ASSEMBLY STAGE, MY PARTS SHELVES ARE BECOMING MORE SPARCE AND I'M RE-DISCOVERING SOME PARTS IN BOXES THAT I'D FORGOTTEN ABOUT-BECAUSE I DONT INTEND TO USE THEM. NAMELY A NEW STEWART WARNER SOUTHWIND 978M H-24
COMBUSTION HEATER AND STILL IN ORIG BOX THE ELECT FUEL PUMP,
CONTROL BOX AND WIRING HARNESS. ALTHOUGH I DONT INTEND TO USE IT, I'M CURIOUS ABOUT HOW/WHERE IT WAS TO BE INSTALLED,
HISTORY OF USE, ETC. (IF IT'S SO COLD THAT I NEED A FLAME THROWER IN THE CAB OF MY JEEP, YOU'LL FIND ME IN THE LIVING ROOM IN FRONT OF THE WOODSTOVE). ANYBODY?? THX, RICK |

Actually that's not all history. These Stewart Warner (Southwind) heater and Janitrol's heaters are all still alive and doing well in light aircraft. I've been maintaining the 940 series for 20 years now. They are sensitive to a correct fuel pressure setting as well as a correct amount of combustion air flow. The older units with stainless steel burner cans need a periodic leak down check to prevent their deteriorating enough to give you carbon monoxide poisoning.
The modern units have ceramic combustion cans. _________________ Wes K
