For the Ag operator, the season is upon us. For the T6 owner, Oshkosh, and other airshows are just around the corner. Below are a few suggestions to be ready for either of the above.
-
Valve adjustment: adjust at first 100 hrs. and again at mid-time
-
Retorque cylinder base nuts every 100 hrs. Torque to 300in\lbs.
-
Check mag timing every 100 hrs. Points should be checked prior to mag timing and should be gapped from .008 - .010. (Bosch)
-
Change oil every 35 - 50 hrs.
-
Check oil screen at every oil change. Be sure the poppet valve is in the engine before the reinstallation of the screen. Replace O-ring once a year.
-
Check air filter, condition of air box and repair or replace as necessary.
-
Check cylinders for cracks or leakage on a regular basis.
