I spent most of this weekend making brackets to mount my new left
    

radiator.
  

Finally got it mounted late this afternoon.
No ducting yet, but just had to go fly.
Amazing difference! Even with no ducting cools way, way better.
Air temps behind each radiator pretty much the same now.

Ducting next, then primer injectors (cold start procedure is still:
1) Remove cowling
2) remove spark plug
3) Drain a bit of fuel and blow into sparkplug hole with a length of
    

tubing
  

4) Replace spark plug
5) Replace cowling
6) Start.)

Well, Finn, you had better get that cold start problem fixed before Sun and
Fun, Finn.  Its one thing being associated with you and  having the Lycoming
crowd watch while you lift the tail high in the air in order to replenish
the coolant, its another thing to have them watch you give your rotary a
blow job {:>)

Gives a whole new meaning to the "I love my Mazda Rotary" buttons that Laura is handing out :)

On the other note, having installed that windshield washer bottle/pump feeding the water pump inlet via a check valve, really really comes in handy after having worked on the cooling system. You can get the rest of the air out of the system while flying!
