Swinging a lamp a little.....b4 walnuts in a land and time Far away,we did comp washes using a mixture of avtur and `distilled` water,which as any `fuel` knows does not mix well,even using a big wooden spoon,so ,trying to keep a steady crpm and PTIT,IN MANUAL THROTTLE was a 3-handed job,one on HP cock,one on throttle,and one waving to the stirrer...didn`t make a lot of difference as the compressor was worn out in about 25 hours,and the later sand-filter mod. didn`t help if it got wet in the tropics........
Not nearly as much fun as starting a Belvedere,cartridge-avpin to turbine starter,....
