  1. Static leak. 1st thing to do is remove RGB fwd mag plug and ADH bottom

    mag plug. Leave them open for 2hrs or so, then see which one is still

    dripping. If ADH, start by replacing P/S filter. After that replace main oil

    pump. 

     

    Lockheed Service News V18 N3 gives an excellent description of the 

    problem and trouble shooting

     

  2. ye i dont think system is de-activated. even though we dont have it on our birds, many QEC kits

    have the wiring and c/plug. It's a standard check for us in test cell if a new engine will not rotate

    when starter button is pressed to then turn on nacelle pre-heat. If it then rotates, we know the shop

    got the starter and  pre-heat c/plugs swapped around

  3. Dino, it sounds like you have a collapsing flexible line. Looks ok on the ground, but once oil is flowing through the inner wall is collapsing .

    Other possibility is the follower in the tank may be damaged. I have had this a couple times

    It don't appear to be an A model as it has fuel dump masts on the wing tips.  I can only see one drain mast on the bottom of the engines also as the A model has two drain masts.

    it is a C130B, redesignated C130BZ after glass cockpit, APU and 

    other upgrades and mods.

  5. Back to work yesterday, all is still well in the land of sand. People obeying

    the curfew, and while the infection rate may be troubling, situation is

    under control. Government doing a sterling job of getting a handle on

    the virus, getting free medical treatment for all, online distance learning 

    for schools, partial salaries guarenteed for companies that had to close.

  6. Company ordered all 55 and older to stay home for 2 weeks + several others

    that had been to high risk countries before the government suspended all

    international flights to and from Saudi Arabia. So far, not too bored ...

  7. TO's tell us 1 minute ON, 1 minute OFF, 1 minute ON, 5 minutes OFF, 1 minute ON, 30 minutes OFF ......

     

    Having said that, a starter can fail at any time. I have had the starter shaft shear on 1st attempt, it has

    also sheared at 40% during normal starting. During compressor wash, the load on the starter is more than

    doubled so it has a much greater chance of failing. I don,t think there is much to be done in terms of 

    extending life beyond what we already do .....

     

    We follow a slightly modified procedure to what is stated in 2J-T56-101CL-1:

    Allow detergent mix to enter engine until it is flowing from intake, then motor engine for 1 minute, allow

    minimum 5 minutes soak time (or move on to next engine).

     

    Open the rinse water and wait for clean water to flow from the intake, motor engine for 1 minute, wait 1 minute

    or move on to next engine. Keep doing this until clean water is coming out of turbine. During the last motoring,

    stop the water at +-30 seconds but keep motoring until 1 minute to vent excess fluids. Complete dry-out run

    withing 4 hours
