Guys, any chance this can go all the way back to an issue with the gascolator? Does it seem the same no matter which tank you’ve selected? I guess I’m thinking about large air bubbles being pulled through.

Your g5s are on a charger? That wouldn’t be normal unless you leave the master on?

Ha! Glad you made that. I was 99.9% sure my 930 normalizes the chts too but I was too scared to post it and then be wrong! Nice job Skates!

Wowza, I got lucky on that one! Mine were installed 2/14/2020 and they aren't affected... or at least they're not in that batch of serial numbers. I haven't had any issues with the batteries either.

I wonder if the FAA starting to approve formerly experimental avionics (eg G5s) spooked TC?

It’s ACF’s job to migrate everywhere. If it’s coming out thick and is a big mess, perhaps they used too much, but you should definitely see some leaking out.

So nothing “undesirable” about not having it, more relaxing to have it. It helps smooth out the bumps in light turbulence and will keep the airplane coordinated for you in most conditions. Basically just freeing you up even more to focus on bigger picture tasks. Since we don’t have rudder trim, it may or may not alleviate all your right rudder during climb , but it will keep you coordinated at all your cruise airspeeds and during descent. My F (without yaw damper) requires a little right rudder in cruise depending on IAS and it requires left rudder in decent. Yaw damper takes care of that and helps in turbulence. Seems worth it to me if you’re getting the gfc500.

Necessary, no, but I also don’t think you’ll regret it. Price seems reasonable too, especially considering 2xG5s by themselves (installed) is typically 10-12k. Are you getting the oat sensor for Tas and winds? I’d include that as well.

Did the shop wire it correctly? Maybe the shop put the cb between your electric trim switch and it was meant to be on the trim motor?

It’s really similar to the g1000 gfc700 in a lot of ways! Glad you guys got a nice day to fly over there, this side of the state was nice too and we went for $100 hamburgers in idaho. Bouncy fuel pressure and all.

Don’t thank me when you see the bill… the cables aren’t cheap and the mechanic is going to have to take their time to get them both just right. Probably have a switch on the throttle for the gear warning horn too.

Tough to say if it’s that exact part with the restrictor or just an elbow, but there’s something like that at the back of the servo. Sorry, pipes were too hot to get a good picture!

Just so you’re aware, that throttle cable looks like it could be original too. Prop looks like it was replaced. How’s the throttle feeling? Mine got pretty stiff and started a small “rebound” from full forward when I replaced it and the new one feels so much better.

You should call around to the MSCs and see if someone has one in stock. Start with lasar, maxwell, maybe dugosh. They may have to order from Mooney, so try to find one in stock. The other way to get one is to get together all the measurements and send them to the people who make the cables for Mooney. Can’t think of the name right now…. You will get the same exact cable for cheaper as an owner produced part (you supplied the dimensions). They may even have one on the shelf. Ahh, mcfarlane, thats the company. So those are your two routes… MSC or mcfarlane.

For mine, the gmu-11 is in the tail just behind the battery/avionics rack. Others have it in the wing. My heading info is excellent, so there doesn’t seem to be a mag field issue in the tail. I think the -29 is on the avionics rack. typically temp probe should be under the wing (out of sun), and away from the engine. Theres a convenient inspection panel about 18” out and 10” back on the wing (underneath).

So you guys are saying there’s a tiny “breather” hole in this somewhere? (picture from Chief)

I knew my sender looked different… the page you added is from a 2008 manual. I have a newer sender. It’s $423 at Chief! Let’s hope it’s a loose fitting! Below is an updated manual with the sender I have:

I don’t think the 30psi is an issue. It was mid 20s before I replaced the mech fuel pump. The new pumps are notoriously strong and sit right at the 30psi limit. There’s a few threads on that. I agree that sender shows up in the manual, but I think I have a different one with a clip on connector and 3 wires which is almost exactly the same as the oil pressure transducer. Tough to tell in these pictures with an adel clamp around it. Maybe it is the one listed? But the wire connections are definitely through 1 clip.

So, it’s an actual fitting between the servo and the line going to the pressure gage? Like I could take a photo of that connection and we should see it?

Probably because you didn’t want to flood it! Im sure my mental model of this is not exactly right, but IF it’s a mechanical issue (ie air bubbles), I keep thinking that they must be coming in prior to the pump because the line after the pump is pressurized and it shouldn’t let air in. If anything, it would let fuel out. Before the pump though, I think anything is possible. After that video, I put it in ico and it held pressure for a long time. I wiggled the transducer and it’s wires with zero fluctuations.

So mine is steady with boost pump on, mixture ico. However, I think it was bouncing when I put the mixture forward and let it run fuel (but it was really quick because I didn’t want to flood it too bad). Video of pressure as BP comes on with mixture in middle position. https://photos.app.goo.gl/A9c5jKgQDLdTccHw8

Yeah, I gotta check and see if it fluctuates with just the electric pump. I’m not sure if it does. Also, if I run that pump for a minute or two won’t i flood the heck out of it? See this is why I need help, I’m only smart enough to be dangerous!

Agree, Im just having a hard time imagining the cowling off, engine running, mechanical gage in the engine compartment? Probably gonna be bouncing around just due to the engine running.

Here's mine on a similar time scale. It's right after start, but is relatively constant through the flight. It does gain in amplitude during takeoff, but settles back to this in the climb. Fuel Flow is about like this, but just barely more fluctuation when it's higher.
