JAG,
I removed the check valve yesterday afternoon and found the flow was correct and that it was clean, but would not hold back pressure. To test the valve, I covered the weep holes, blew through it and it leaked so I dissembled it and found the neoprene seal on the disc was cracked in several places. Yuengling has them in stock so I placed an order for 2 new valves and expect them tomorrow. Thank you for the help. |

Feedback
bking - thanks for the feedback and the report on the deterioration on the check valve. Likely there a few more Skymasters out there with similar or soon-to-be problem like that. Appreciate the follow up.
Regards, Jeff |

My IA damn near stripped it to the steel for the first annual (which is still not finished). He is as risk averse as your local FSDO, but I sincerely appreciate it. Having said this, my plane sat for literally 10 years in the hanger when I bought it, and had very few hours for many years prior to that. If my plane had a full year of flying in 21, and it had an annual back then without any significant caveats in the notes, I don't think my IA would have removed the tips either. There are only so many cycles of tighten and loosen available to all of that hardware.
