It only required a little bit of
trimming. Took about an
hour.
The Stewart Warner has much more
little folds than its predecessor. More folds equals more surface
area which means better cooling.
I discovered a cut in the crank sensor wire bundle, obviously caused by being too close to the spinner plate.
In order to repair it, there was no choice but to remove the prop. First I had to cut and remove the safety-wire.
In the past I had Lynnette help me with the prop. There's almost no way one person could simultaneously lift the prop and get the bolts started. This time I tried using Bruce's engine hoist. It worked like a champ.
After removing the prop, I removed the starter plate -- it just slides on -- which gave me access to the wire bundle.
No question about it, the wire bundle had been cut about halfway through. I cut it, then striped the six wires on each end.
