What should I do? The gas (it's avgas) wasn't changed either; worried my carburetors may be gummed up.
I purchased the plane (A Chinook Plus 2) approximately two years ago (I'm a new UL pilot with low hours of experience), and unfortunately due to circumstances beyond my control, haven't been able to fly it or do any run-ups for the last 1.5 years.
I live in a remote area (Kirkland Lake, ON, Canada) and would like to do as much of the maintenance work on my own as possible.
I think it's time for air filter replacement, oil & oil filter change, spark plug change, fuel filter change, magnetic plug inspection, etc. What parts should I order and where can I get them from?
Worried that I may do damage to the engine if I start it with the oil having possibly drained away from critical components after 1.5 years of sitting.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
