Showing $1125 now.

Does someone have a picture of this pump? So we can start browsing for ice cream parts for our friends?

What do they do?

I am pretty sure i can see the armature moving inside the alternator, so I don't believe that is the issue. Per other reccomended troubleshooting from above, to check field wires on back of alternator.....well it appears the SOB's screws are metric......so delay with that. I found the troubleshooting guide on the B&C website, previously didnt know what voltage regulator to look for so now I have that document.....next problem is to find the VR hidden behind the dash.

Quick question, does the “stby” lamp illuminate even if the alternator isn’t making power? About to head out to airport and take another look see.

I am pretty sure it is not the spline, I can move the prop and see movement inside the alternator. I turn the standby switch on and the annunciator light doesn’t come on....what is the wizardry and logic? I am guessing there is a second voltage regulator behind the panel, but I don’t know. The online material is lacking.

My Ovation has a BC410-1 standby alternator which looks like it was installed when the TKS system was installed. I did my semi-occasional test of it and doesn’t work. The annunciation panel light didn’t illuminate, bulb works on test, and the amp meter continues to show negative amps. I tried different RPMs, etc. there really isn’t much to experiment with for diagnosing. Documentation in POH and the STC’s is sparse. Online research from their web site also sparse. Does it have its own voltage regulator? So many questions so a logical process can be started to diagnose it. I have repair and parts manuals, but nothing there. Any advise appreciated. I will contact factory on Tuesday and see what they can provide. thank you and stay safe. Mark

What is the point of an optical reader switch? Seems like a lot of complexity for a switch that simply tells the software to go up or down one position.

I am thinking it is the new BS way of doing things. Years ago I had UPS ask what my margin was on the product, none of their effin business and recently looking at another sales channel and they asked what my manufacturing costs were and my sales price, guess what the answer was again?

I think the bigger issue is sloppy work by the paint shop.

@GEE-BEE well.... you really shouldnt rub it in like that...some of us are sensitive CB's and feel left out of great deals like that

What is the legality on installing it with no paperwork?

How are you getting a GI-275 installed for $3600? By itself the instrument is $3500.

I just bought gas there last week. It is a quiet airport. Never had to contact them. FSM has self serve gas on the southeast corner, just off taxiway Charlie at base of control tower. Also a bathroom there.

Unfortunately they had no choice. The political climate has scared everybody into retreating and waiting for government to save them. My guess is this corona virus scare is going to cost the US $5 trillion dollars, divided by 100,000 deaths equals $50 million per death. The $50 million number is way to high, human life simply isn't worth that much. I am sure the few humanists on this board will say what about if it was your loved ones, etc. but the decision was made by the media and a scared public based on little facts. As Stalin (supposedly) said, "one death is a tragedy, a million becomes a statistic." The cold hard economic reality is it will take us a decade to get out of this mess. The whole thing doesn't pass the reality test. What is the next crisis going to cost us?

Have they improved the terminal for GA? I occasionally went in there in a Hawker....1 hour flight from TEB to JFK.....I was just the bus driver and did what I was told. back to the terminal, it was just a dingy old set of airport chairs 10 years ago. They clearly didn't want non airline traffic there.

I am ashamed to say I did this....but I did it while flying.....long boring leg.....I should know better, back when I flew for a living we had a saying "if it is red or dusty, don't eff with it" And the internal lighting for the instrument stayed on, just the electronic portion quit working. It wasn't dark yet, so I am not that stupid....Still a lot of amps for a tiny instrument. Probably not installed properly. I might dig into it.

I think i saw some type of spinner/backplate combo on mooney pilots on facebook. Mighr be worth a look.

And I finally got around to checking to it. It is the new electronic tach for the 310 HP upgrade. Not sure why the tiny little Instrument has a 5 amp CB....another mystery I guess.

But i already checked the

I will get out to the plane next couple of days. Will send update.

I guess i will just have to pull it and see what doesn't work...... The adds from the factory, that i know of are JPI, stormscope, TKS, which as far as i can tell have their own CB's. Free beer who identifies it, after i figure it out....

I think it is a post light?

I have a CB on my 2000 Ovation that isn’t labeled......I guess I should pull it and see what doesn’t work.
