Re: Milemaster pressure tank rebuild

[olcah]

My RD15A ran in a bucket last week but not well. I found that the coils, set exactly at the machined stops, were very lightly rubbing the flywheel magnet. I set the coils back using tape on the coil heels as a spacer and when the pressure tank is ready I will make another run. The problem could also have been aggravated by the leaking pressure tank and by ingesting its own exhaust.
The RJE18 also started and ran poorly. Later I noticed on pulling the motor over manually that very little air came through the motor end of the tank connection. I will probably take a look at the leaf plate as I did see some corrosion there when I rebuilt the carb.
What is the status of your RD16? Spring is coming.
