ram 750 bearings
I think I may need new bearings for my ram 750. When I spin the compressor by hand, it starts and goes fairly easy, but then after about two- three seconds it stops abrubtly/instantly, very quickly. Does this sound like bearings. If the bearings are about to "go" could I do more damage if I start it up. What concerns me is that this engine only has about 20 cycles on it!
Thanks
Don

RE: ram 750 bearings
I had the bearings in my Ram do this as well ( after about 15 runs) and so did a friend here. I turned it over by hand several times and it went away. Since then, I had to fix a fuel ring problem and while I was in there I checked the bearings. The looked and felt like new! I have flown them quite a few times since then and they are fine. Turn them over by hand and see if the sticking goes away. If it does not then put in new bearings.
