Hey all...
I just had a bunch of work done to my car's engine. In doing so they dropped the engine out, and in doing so had to disconnect everything. I think that in putting it back together they messed something up with the heating system, because now no matter what I do with the controls in the cockpit, hot air is always pumping either to my feet or my face. I'm not too familiar with the way the flapper valves, heating system, etc is set up.. Anyone have any suggestions as to what to check??? BETTER YET.... ANY DFW boys wanna have a wrench day? I'll by the beer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) (and lunch (IMG:style_emoticons/default/jsharp.gif) ). Doug |

At the flapper end of the cable is a cable attached metal barrel about an inch long. This should be secured to a u-shaped hinged device on the flapper valve by a set screw. If it's not screwed down, or is screwed down incorrectly you're going to let heat into the cabin.
Check both sides. Could be that themechanic, in haste, forgot about tightening them down. It's one of the last things you do when you R&R a 914 motor & easily forgotten. |
