:?: Howdy, I am from Oklahoma and very new to Airboating. I bought an airboat about 2 weeks ago, and I have a number of questions about it.
1. I was told that it was a 220hp Continental Engine with a 4 blade Warp Drive, 14 x 8 Combie hull. It has only had AVGAS used in it. AVgas here at the local airport is $4.60 a gallon, can I use Unleaded 91 octane with booster? Or 87 octane with booster?
2. I was at O'Reilly's Auto Parts and seen some stuff called Lead Substitute, Since AVGAS has lead in it for the Valve lubrication, this suff is supposed to do the same for unleaqded gas. Wonder about using it too?
3. The Oil Cooler measures 3" x7" x 17 1/2" it looks like the original mounted on the side of a PE 150-6 picture in the manual I bought for this type of engine. But it is bolted to motor frame and down below the motor, just in front of the props. Is the Oil Cooler big enough to handle the job. The summer temps here is between 80 and 105 degrees, generally in the 90's.
I would include pictures but haven't figured out how to do that yet.
