I purchased, Aug '09, a 1994 Kitfox IV, which came with a new 582 grey head. The engine has never been started and appears today as it would have come from the factory in 1994. The question is do I run it as is or tear it down for inspection? The exterior and what I can see of the interior, intake and exhaust ports, appear clean and free of rust. The entire kit was stored indoors, but not necessarily in a controlled temperature environment. Also I plan to install the static ports just forward of the horizontal stabilizer on both sides of the fuselage. Does anyone have the exact location measurements for this location? Appreciate any guidance from the group.
