Carb replacement for novice in chilly weather.
Today I changed one of my carbs; for some of you pros it would have been a piece of cake...
At first I thought my new carbs were the wrong ones, it must have been my old gas fumes.
It is really, hum, TRICKY to get the back castle nut on (very tight fit, especially with decompresor plate). I found if I rotated the carb up and put back nut on first it was the only way I could do it; then rotate carb back down and slip onto outer stud...perhaps Tyler can do it easier from higher altitude.
I think I will do the second one faster, hope the weather holds around 0 C./32 F. Now that I know how I will be able to finish before running to van to warm fingers.*
Hope to give report of engines running soon, its been TOO long.
* What gave me encouragement was the GRIN of Dale Kramer walking out of water from his amphib.

C-IIII, CYEL
PS I tried a new method to get my bod into the plane (when the props are turning)...it will actually require me turning my butt to the prop-wash, which is better than my head. Its the pod and windshield that are my hinderance. I will practice, practice, practice, with engines off. But I have had it trying tp climb past angled wheel support tube from boom - from behind.
