Crisis averted!!! We managed to save the damaged injector and save $280 with a new one. If anyone is wondering the thread and pitch on the lycoming IO-360 injectors thread and pictures is it’s 5/16x32 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I tried using a double bevel chainsaw file I JD at the shop but to no avail, so I’ll use the die. Hopefully that will get me going. If not a new one will go in Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sweet! Thanks for the installation info. That would have been missed on us. One of the injectors I know has the A on the bottom, I’ll make sure I check the other two and install the new one that way. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I haven’t had any issues with my fine wires but I didn’t really notice any improvements with them. I’ve lead fouled one I think because I fly a lot of LOP and the cylinders run really cool. I tried the file but gave up I was worried I would end up doing more damage to the threads and a die wouldn’t be able to save it:) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I ordered a new injector and a die. If I can’t cut clean the threads on the old injector then I’ll replace it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I took the fuel line off the spider and both sides of the fuel line go into the spider just fine. I think the injector might have got the messed up when we were shaking it in the cleaning jar with the gun cleaner and mineral spirits. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry everyone, I shouldn’t have started a thread right before date night with the better half. And now she is wondering about my lesions...:) As always thanks for the help! I do run LOP easily my spread is never more than .2 when I rapidly lean it. Here is a pic of the threads.

Hank, its never to late to bring something home with injectors...:)

I have a Lycoming IO-360. We just cleaned my injectors and the threads on one of them was or got a little Boogered up and I can’t get the fuel line on it. In the morning I’ll find a nut to go on it hoping to fix the threads. If that fails I’ll need a new injector. “Or buy a set of Gami’s” Two of the injectors have a large A on them and the other two have a small A stamped on them. I was wondering what that signifies and what the best way to identify them is and how to order them. I don’t know where I got it but I thought injectors were stamped with dots but mine are not. Thanks for any help and the added education. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dang it I missed the post. Last Yanks/Sox game I watched was in NY and we got pounded 11-1:( Only good part of that day was being in NY. This Monday is my birthday so hopefully I’ll get to fly the ball cap:) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So who is rolling in the dough??? love the plate, go Yankees.... https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/used-volvo-v70-wagon-20-205900384.html Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you! I feel like I stepped up my edit game on this video doing a much better job of matching the video to the music. I’m not very artistic so it took a lot longer to edit the video:) Glad you enjoyed it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s pretty crazy to think about the hazards that still exist. Thanks for the info, I’ve watched a few documentary’s on it and try to get in the tour list each year but it fills up to fast for me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Along the flight I had a Mooney cross over me, crossed the Columbia River and seen the beautiful Tri Cities valley of Washington. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you, yeah the numbers were pretty surprising. In the past I was in an open T over the wintersand when the temps were down in the negatives, the engine was still toasty warm. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I paid $1,000 for mine with the unused carry bag, charger and an extra battery. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A couple old blankets would be great in an enclosed hangar. But if you’re outside, and most winters I have been, blankets are not very water proof or like to stay on the plane with a little bit of wind. But a comparing video would be good to see what level of insulation factor the cover has on? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

First video with a new intro and the branding of the channel. If you want to get everything out of your engine heater you might want this cover. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Last year I use my Mooney to fly frozen turkeys home. I guess that video was nothing like that.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Beautiful weather, 30kt tail winds, and an Epic aircraft landing behind me at John Day. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks, 1NU gets top billing for the lead role in the videos. But the beard is the lead supporting role!!! That’s why the channel is getting branded, The Bearded Mooney:) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah having it in the cabin up under the panel is a lame place to have it!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How I check and maintain the brake fluid in the 201. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I like the duct tape for added security. I have a bunch of blue painters tape I used on the plane for other things. I might try that next time. Thanks for the tip! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great idea. I have that stool. And at 40 I throw out a few choose words. I just edited them out of the video... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
