The Davtron indicator had to be removed due to indication incorrect pressure altitude. A continuity check of the harness found no errors in the wiring so the problem had to be elsewhere. Checking altitude encoder grey codes found that the B4 had to be high when it should have been low so there must have been a short. The only nearby high was the C1 so the short had to be here. An inspection of the connector under magnification revealed a tiny bead of solder between the pins of B4 and C1 which I
I have a 1965 M20C equipped with a Brittain autopilot with heading, cap, track, and loc selection knob.
At this time the auto-leveler does not work but I plan to fix it. I am upgrading my aircraft with a GTN650, GMA350, and a course indicator GI106A. The GI106A comes with a VOR/ILS or VOR/ILS with course datum for an extra $500. Does anyone known if a Brittain autopilot can interact with a GTN650 and a course datum to intercept a course?
I have just purchased my first Mooney. A 1977 M20J. All in all I'm really happy with the airplane. Fast and efficient. My right tank was sealed in 2010 by the previous owner. I notice when the tank is full I have a small wet spot of fresh fuel at the front edge of the gear housing. Any suggestions as to where to go from here would be greatly appreciated. It's not terrible and I don't believe air worthy but I'd like to get ahead of the problem before it becomes more severe. Thanks for your
Hello Everyone,
I recently purchased a 1983 M20J and I am still getting use to everything. I have a warning light next to the gear handle that I am not sure of its purpose. It comes on shortly after engine start, blinking, then goes off and sometimes comes back on during flight. It does not seem to be affected by the gear position, rpm setting or prop setting.
I beleive that I have the only M20D Master remaining in the original fixed pitch prop/ fixed gear configuration; N1016Y. The aircraft is in KPGD for Garmin ADS-B installation in the next few days. After a four year restoration where the engine, prop, interior, fuel tanks, panels, avionics, lighting, etc were replaced, it is for sale. Anyone interested?

My 1975 Mooney 20F model was just flown home from St. Louis 1H0 to 08D, 6 hour journey. Upon pushing the plane into the hanger I noticed a little trickle of oil on the prop..my question is this. Do I dare fly it to my FBO 20 minutes away for repair or what could be the causes of this problem? thanks for any input or help..

First a note of explanation: a manifold pressure gague is an absolute pressure gague. What this means is that it is an uncorrected barometer connected to your intake manifold so with the engine not running it indicates uncorrected field pressure.
Those among us living at or near sea level can look at the gague and expect it to read the same as the Kolsman window when the altimeter is set to field elevation. Those of us living at significant altitudes above sea level look at the gague and pon
I just checked out a 1966 M20C for possible purchase. I noticed a drop in compression in #3 over the last 3 years as reading 73, 70 this 60 this year. This really caught my eye. The engine has right around 1500 TSOH. The others are steady in the mid to low 70s. The seller and I talked about it and was told he had it scoped and was willing to offer pics. This however doesn't correct the drop in compression. We both believe its a dirty exhaust valve that can be corrected with a cleaning and
I have a mooney 231 with the TSIO 360 TB. I had another pilot overheat the motor and we have had a real hard time getting the motor back in shape.
After a couple of new jugs we have great compression. The we have checked compression, timing, plugs, gasalotor, fuel valves, new fuel pump, rebuilt throttle body, adjused the pressures on the fuel pump, regulated and non regulated. adjusted idle rich lean.
As you can see I out of options, I am barly getting 2500 RPM and 36 LBS manifold pre
I have a problem with the oil temp and CHT gauges. Oil temp sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. When I turn power on, both gauge needles dive to the left. When I disconnect the sender for the oil temp, it does the same thing. When I ground the sending units lead (off of the sending unit), it deflects all the way to the right.
Cyl. head gauge does the same thing but when hooked up, it's dead all the time. Both the sending units show resistance.
Whats up and what to check next?
