This has come up several times over the years. There is a small aluminum angle in front of the number 1 cylinder. You can see it looking through the front cowl. It serves no purpose other than reducing air flow over the number one cylinder. My mechanic made a new one about 1/2 inch shorter from scrap aluminum angle. It took him about 10 minutes. My no. 1 went from the hottest to coolest. Problem solved.

I believe the Plane Power will require some wiring changes. It has a built in voltage regulator whereas yours is buried behind the instrument panel.

Now we need a CB solution for the clear plastic wingtip lens $300+ last time Ichecked.

On my J the KFC 200 roll servo is in the right wing where the actuator rod for the aileron comes out of the wing. Inspection cover with pop rivets.

I’m thinking of ordering a cylinder from Boeing (Aviall ) Or Airpower. If my mechanic gets a discount I would like to have him get it and let him make a little profit. Otherwise i will just buy it direct.

How has your experience been with the Continental cylinders? How much time do you have on them? Do they have the nickle carbide bore treatment? Are the parts interchangeable with Lyc.? (valve guides, valves, pistons, rings, etc.). Sorry for all the questions.

Airpower shows to have Continental built Lyc. cylinder kits in stock https://www.airpowerinc.com/tist13-0ca

Are new ones still backordered for months? Are the Continental ones available? Who would be likely to have an exchange on the shelf?

Wow! Talk about fast service!

Jake you should be receiving it today. I was out of town when he removed it and he removed some other stuff too. Hope it’s not a problem to put back. Don’t know how long it took him.

AP does not follow heading bug or follow flight director in heading mode or level wings with AP on heading mode off. On ground test does not turn control yoke in response to heading bug. FD operates normally. AP computer tests good. Planning to send to Bevan Aviation. Thanks.

My mechanic is going to be removing the KFC 200 roll servo from my J so it can be sent off for repairs. He’s never done this job before. Any words of wisdom for him other than to charge double his normal rate?

It’s not stuck the autopilot just won’t function in either mode

I have separate GPS and VHF nav com boxes (Garmin 625 and Trig TX 56A). Nav output goes to a King KI 525. This is controlled through an Icarus IRU 525. This is a gizmo that plugs into the back of the HSI. There is a toggle switch for switching plus, if an ILS frequency is entered in the nav/com it automatically switches to that. This setup is left over from when I had a KLN 94. I think it eliminated the need for an annunciator panel. I think the Icarus may be causing problems and I can’t find much information about it. The company seems to be out of business although Google shows a company in Dallas to have repair capabilities. My question is how this switching is accomplished nowadays? I never see annunciator panels being installed and obviously Icarus is obsolete.

Is it listed somewhere?

Not metalic. It’s carbon

This is my latest filter running 25-50 XC and Camguard. About 40 hours on it

I’ve used Phillips XC and Camguard in my J model since overhaul 600+ hours ago and I have had several stuck valves. Sometimes they were frozen and had to be driven out. When the guides were reamed it was carbon that was the problem. The engine has been run LOP exclusively. In the latest oil change the filter had a lot of chunks of carbon in it. Oil and filter have been changed every 25 hours. The owner of a cylinder shop who has been repairing cylinders day in and day out for probably 40 or 50 years told me that Camguard was the culprit. True this is anecdotal evidence but it carries some weight with me considering my personal experience and who it came from. I am in annual now and I am going to AS W 100 and no Camguard.

That’s a switch with a built in 5 amp breaker if I’m not mistaken. You could probably replace it with a toggle switch and a 5 amp fuse

Still available

just saw an ad for one of these for $1,159. Either I am a little low or he is sky high (or maybe a little of both). Anyway, it is still available

Complete with everything it came with plus a bare wire mount. The 795 is for ADSB weather and traffic as opposed to the 796 which is for XM. Databases are not current. Works fine and I was using it until I replaced it with a 760 recently ($1,550). $650 plus actual shipping cost.

Do you have a service manual reference? The fact that yours is like that does not prove it is correct.

I had them reseal one side on my J model several years ago and it’s been fine. The other side was resealed by weep no more a few years before that and it’s been fine too

I have a KMA 24 in my Mooney and a separate PS intercom. If I slide out the KMA 24 and slide in a PS 7000BT will it work and will all features of the 7000 function? Is the audio (com and intercom) noticeably better on the 450 as opposed to the 7000? Thanks
