WTB set of wings
Looking for a set of 170/172/175 wings. Don't need papers, they can need some repair, don't have to be perfect. Closer to the Pacific Northwest the better. Thanks

Looks like records has been down for weeks. Sometimes there’s a banner at the top of the page saying so.

Re: C170B Fuel Selector Valve
Replaced mine with McFarlane last year. Tremendous pain the rear to remove and reinstall. Then I hit my stride and trying one more time installed it in about 90 seconds. Wish I could remember what I did!

Re: Avcon w/ low RPM’s
Is this new behavior? You getting full travel on the throttle linkage at the carb? What’s fuel flow at full throttle? Manifold pressure?

Check the auto racing stores. It’s cheaper than spruce.
