A few years ago, I found some oil in the bottom of my #4 cylinder and engine oil was fouling that bottom spark plug. I did a ring flush of that cylinder using straight MMO. Worked very well for me. I look hard at that cylinder every annual and it still looks good.

@Oscar Avalle- I thought this STC was only available for the E and F models, that didn’t have the battery box mounted to the firewall. Unless your M20C has its battery relocated to the tail?

All that does is make the rudder pedals uneven. If you add more turns, then the rudder is no longer aligned with the nose wheel and you’ll have a wild ride on touchdown. If you also try adjusting the ailerons that way, then the yoke will be crooked too and you will get the rudder/aileron interconnect out of whack and the airplane will fly even more crooked. Better idea is to adjust it according to the manual and tweak the rudder trim tab.

I had the Warren Gregoire covers in my first M20C about 25 years ago. They used to make one specifically with the PC button exposed. They worked well and were very comfortable. If you call them, I’ll bet they would be happy to use their old pattern to make one with the PC button still useable. I had the cream colored ones. They looked great at first but got dirty and couldn’t really be cleaned. I suggest the black ones, and hard-wire the PTT wiring to your audio panel/intercom.

Gus, I agree with you 100%, but somehow I get the impression that cost effectiveness isn’t going to figure into this decision. Makes me wonder why my father didn’t buy me an Ovation.

More likely that someone made an arithmetic error 20 or 30 years ago.

My biggest problem is usually the nut at the control knob end.

I agree with Skip. This seems like a solution looking for a problem.

Byron’s a straight shooter. If nothing else pans out, I’d have him do it, just ask that a different mechanic do the inspection (maybe even Byron himself, if he has time, after one of his guys opens it up).

It was 20 years ago, but I was always very impressed with Triad. Also did props.

Yes, but depending on the aircraft installation, it may need a source of fuel pressure before it will run. The POH should explain its use.

If it doesn’t “turn on”, it’s possible that the reset switch has to be pushed. That’s the little red button to the right of your picture with a couple of wires going to it.
