  1. Foley, 5r4, just sold our J and the tools need a home.
  2. One set of gear rigging tools for sale $230, I ship.
  3. The fuse was located exactly as jcovington said, directly above the FO's right knee, thanks for the help!
  4. The light I am referring to is the light on the annunciator panel that indicates power is being supplied to the starter. The light should be off when the starter is disengaged during the start sequence. If the start power light is still on after the starter is released, the start must be terminated to prevent damage to the starter.
  5. I am attempting to find/replace the fuse that is in the starter power circuit. My schematic shows a 1 amp fuse, but I do not see it located near the starter solenoid. The light has never worked for me so it obviously is not a major issue, but I want to finally fix it.
  6. From my receipt, the part is . RECT ND 8 DIODE 60-80A IR/ IF 118mm OD Stator. I don't see an actual part number nor do I know where it was obtained, but it seems to me that any electrical shop worth its salt should be able to find one. By the way, I called Hartzell and told them about my experience and asked if they were interested in receiving the defective Rectifier, but they weren't very interested, so I tossed it.
  7. I just finished a troubleshoot and repair of a Plane Power AL 12-P70 alternator on our Mooney. I spent alot of time troubleshooting a whine which was coming from the alternator which was 2 1/2 years old. I removed the unit, took it to a local Alternator shop, they put it on an Oscilliscope and noted the AC waveform, ordered and replaced the rectifier which was an 8 diode unit, I installed the unit and it now works fine with no whine, total cost, 20 dollars for the rectifier and 60 dollars for the labor. It was a denso unit. A pretty abysmal MTBF in my opinion.
  8. After discovering a hole in my #1 Cylinder exhaust riser during a leak check following annual inspection activities, I am now searching for a replacement. What are the best sources for exhaust components?
  9. I'm still learning, after forty two years, military, airline, general aviation....i've still got alot to learn.
  10. I installed one on my aircraft about 5 months ago, it has cured my start problems, expensive but I am glad I did it. It was a very easy install.
  11. Interesting, no mention of ADSB, maybe I missed it.
  12. Try Boomersintheknow.com for an assortment of Bifocal readers clear and tinted. Inexpensive, various styles and expendable.
  13. +1 for Blackstone, they do a nice job. Regular oil analysis is a very good idea, cheap insurance.
