Hi...I got your email but I couldnt respond because i dont have enough posts. I do fly the Kiowa....Not far off from your 206. I love flying it. There are alot of nice toys on it but most of it is dated. They (the army) is looking into getting us a newer model but I will believe it when I see it. Low Level Hell is a great book and I think it should be required reading for anyone who flies helos.

Send me your email and I will send you some videos we made from our latest deployemnt.

Hello There,
Your steering wheel restoration looks fantastic!
I thought I'd request you as a friend so that I may refer to your images later - or I will forget where I saw it...
Happy Sunday.
Paul

Here's the PM for the glove box door springs. Thanks for the help.
John

Hey Jason. Thanks for the advice you gave me earlier. When I did go see it again, he moved it to a different coverall shelter. So lighting and space was great! Checked all the spots you listed and more. Radio doesn't work though, but dont think it will pose too much of a problem, as well the washer bag needs to be replaced. Drove well, for the limited space i could. (weather)
over all, everything was quite clean. I'm pretty happy. So shes now mine, and I pick her up mid April. Not sure how to post photos. But i'll see if i can on the original forum.

Thanks again-

Hey Buddy, they look good! Did you mount them tubeless or with tubes?

Thanks, nothin like the sound of that putt putt two-cylinder workin hard.

Plans for right now are to go thru the mechanicals and get everything good to go. The engine is tired and needing freshened up. Down the road after my current project is wrapped up I would like to restore the truck staying mainly original. As for the steering wheel wrap it was on it when I bought the truck but it seems to be one of those do-it-yourself ones you can buy at most any auto parts place. Good luck with your truck and thanks for the interest..... Mike

Gald to hear your making progress, thats always a good thing, lol. Sure, I have some pics saved somewhere I can show ya. Ill get them up sometime today.

I just realized your choke receives heat from one of the heater hoses. You probably just need to do the adjustments listed in the link I gave you. When cold you should hit throttle to floor once and the choke will snap closed. As soon as engine fires up the chokepull off will come on and open the choke slightly and the rpm should be about 200-300 higher than normal idle to keep the engine running while in the choke/rich mixture condition. After warmin up hit the throttle slightly and the choke/linkage will drop free so the engine can go to curb(normal) idle.

In the picture you carb appears to have a hot-air choke with electric assist. Here is a pic of my 302. You will have to pic up some tubing so you can run your lines from carb airhorn to manifold and back to carb at choke thermostate housing. Go take a look at this link also. http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/76...ot-idle-2.html Towards the bottom of page. Should help you alot.
