  1. If the igniters are coming on, then something is definitely amiss in the wiring.

    Unless someone used the little engine junction box as a FOD or tool holder and forgot to empty it, I would have to agree to R2 the engine.

    I always like to go back and find out what was done before the problem initially started. Any corrosion on the Misc connectors?

    Was it in for ISO or HSC?

  3. Here is a list of firwall connectors for the aircraft side. These connectors match the connectors used in the QEC, and have a self locking feature.

    Misc #1 P185 FH3406KT-32-6S-30 5935-01-373-3933

    Misc #2 P127 FH3406KT-32-7S-30 5935-01-232-3360

    Misc #3 P171 FH3406KT-28-16S30 5935-01-385-5945

    Misc #4 P325 FH3406KT-32-8S-30 5935-01-373-3932

  4. Quoted from the TCTO:

    "The purpose of this TCTO is to inspect the lower surface of the center wing for generalized fatigue cracking on aircraft with high Center Wing Equivalent Baseline Hours (EBH). Upon completion of these inspections, and any required repairs, the effected aircraft will be returned to service with flight restrictions removed for a minimum of 3500 EBH from the completion of the TCTO inspection. The final length of unrestricted service will vary depending on evaluation of inspection effectiveness and statistical analysis of initial inspection results. The length of unrestricted service shall not extend unrestricted service beyond the 45000 EBH threshold."

    This is a depot level TCTO requiring over 2000 man hours to accomplish. This TCTO came about as a result of the findings from the fire fighting C130 that crashed in California.

    I don't have any idea about any Lockheed bulletins.

  5. Yea, I loved the APX-64.

    After I started working it on the bench, I decided to take the back cover off and found the filter circuit card back there under it. I thought it just housed the connector. Well, it was plug in, so I decided to pul it out and found a lot of corrosion on the flat pins (same connection type as the other modules).

    I opened them up on every RT I worked after that, and about every one had corrosion on it. It seemed like we had less RTs coming thought the shop after that.

    You gotta love adjusting the bell curve.

  6. Can someone explain this BS to me?

    It is BS. I saw one black A/C at Ramstein during my six years there, for one day. I guess they never did any pre, post, thru, HSC or ISO inspections on it.

    Must have been a CNN news reporter.

  7. UM, the wings installed during TCTO 1039 DO HAVE externally mounted fuel probes. They are 3-3/4" across and have 4 screws in them.

    The information label for the wing should be on the training edge around OWS 180.

  8. You should be able to order NSN 1560-00-659-1367. This would be the -3 assembly, which includes the -4 seal and -7 seal. The -7 is just a foam tube that slides into the -4 seal. This creates a stiffer and tighter fit.

  9. APU will not start. Fuel flow w/ ignitors. Recommend swapping the ASR with the FHR? How can I download the ALSOCM 11-201 16.0 from home computer?

    I know what an AFI 11-201 is, but never heard of ALSCOM.
