    I think you need to verify these restrictions. The only full-power time restriction I've heard of in Mooneys is with an IO-390. If you have an IO-360 you should be able to run it at full power for more than 5 minutes. The Top Prop brochure says this about continuous operations: "Placard – “No cont. ops. Above 24” manifold pressure between 2350 to 2550 rpm” (M20E, M20F only)" https://hartzellprop.com/wp-content/uploads/Mooney-Combined-PrcSht-Order.pdf Which again allows you to remain at full power. The limitation should be documented in the STC paperwork.

    Oil Temp on the left and Cyl Temp on the right. Those scales look right to me. What do you think is incorrect?

    The voltage regulators all seem to have overvoltage protection built in. Is there a separate relay somewhere else?

    I think you're talking about @KSMooniac.

    That you use an apostrophe when you make Mooney plural.

    Solubility generally increases with temperature. Less water should dissolve in avgas in cold weather.

    The same thing happened to me on the first long trip after I bought my M20J. The plastic cracked around the metal bracket. I put some tape over it to keep it from getting worse and then repaired it when panel was off during the next annual. I removed the metal part and repaired the crack using some of the solvent-welding techniques described in some other threads here on MS. I reinforced the area behind the bracket by gluing a small piece of ABS to the back of the panel like a doubler. The repair has held up well for 8 years.

    I sent you a PM.

    I could use a pair for my passenger if they aren't already spoken for.

    Here’s the original post from Facebook and a couple comments from the OP clarifying that it’s a joke.

    I use the same Keyspan serial to USB adapter with an older version of EZTrends software. I don't see EZData listed on the JPI website so I'm not sure if that's the same software. It's been a while since I set it up but I recall that it took some configuring of serial ports on my laptop and it seems to matter which USB port I plug the Keyspan adapter into. There's a little bit of black magic required to make it work so I just keep using the same ancient laptop and I don't change anything on it as long as it works.

    Here's where you said you believed that the only failure that could take out the dual mag that didn't take out independent ones is the failure of the driveshaft.. I pointed out a specific, known failure mode. A failure mode that you were unaware of that could affect your aircraft. Of course anything falling off an aircraft could affect it but not everything has a history of causing accidents to the extent that there is an SAIB about it. To argue otherwise is just being disingenuous. You now know about the SAIB. You're welcome.
  15. mooniac15u
    You said you weren't aware of any failures of the dual magneto. I pointed out a known failure mode that was common enough for the the FAA to issue an SAIB and you decided to belittle my choice of words. Nice!
  16. mooniac15u
    There is a serious risk of failure of the dual magneto if not mounted correctly. https://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgSAIB.nsf/0/1c2b04ce0081a3ff8625786400532072/$FILE/NE-08-26R3.pdf

    I think you're right that they are spliced into numbered wires. It might be easier to see the numbers in this version.
  18. mooniac15u
    The wires all seem to be labeled. Have you looked at the electrical schematic for your serial number?

    Have you checked the seal on your fuel caps? When I first got my J one of the caps wasn't sealing tight. When I topped the tank on that side the fuel level would contact the rear part of the cap during a climb and the low pressure on top of the wing would pull fuel out. I could smell fuel when that was happening and during one flight I could actually see the fuel coming out. Once I replaced the o-rings and tightened the cap a bit it stopped doing that.

    SkyVista at KMRT has a good reputation with Mooneys. There's a guy over in Zanesville that @steingar uses. Maybe he will stop by and provide more info. I have the folks at KOSU do most of my maintenance. They are probably more expensive by I have known a couple of them for years since before they were at OSU.
  21. mooniac15u
    Where in Ohio are you located?
  22. mooniac15u
    The one next to it looks like it says M-RC217A. With sequential numbering like that are you sure those aren't just identifiers for the connectors/wire bundles? With a bunch of nearly identical connectors they probably labeled them to make it easier to get them back in the right spot if you disconnect more than one at a time.

    FWIW, Mooney advises against this. https://www.mooney.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/SIM20-114.pdf I am not advocating for following or not following this guidance. I just thought you might want to be aware of this service instruction from Mooney. Someone will be along shortly to tell you why you should ignore this guidance from Mooney.

    The applicability paragraph lists engine series like TO-, LTO, and TIO-360 that aren't anywhere in the table so clearly the table is not a comprehensive list of applicability. It is definitely a poorly written AD but I think you will have a hard time convincing the FAA that the M20E and M20F aren't included.
  25. mooniac15u
    The comments aren't regulatory. Only the text of the actual AD matters. You can see under applicability that it give the series identifiers for the hubs which match what is listed on the type certificate for the E and F models and specifies that they are installed on Lycoming engines including the IO-360 series.. The list of aircraft has the following caveat: "These propellers and engines could be installed on, but not limited to:" Which means the list isn't comprehensive and you have to determine applicability from the prior text.
