It happens instantaneously as you advance the throttle. This is of course advancing the throttle smoothly. If you cram the throttle you will get a big surge , not a good thing.
Not good I would say ? I would put a dehumidifier inside of that airplane. That much moisture cannot be good for the radios or any other electrical connections I would think.
Hi Kevin.
Where can I get a manual, or copy of the assembly manual that you have pictured there?
Please let me know if you would.
Thank you.

Lancecasper’s Suggestions are all good ones I do believe, better safe than sorry. I normally fly in the teens as well. I have never experienced any of the conditions you described?
I put a GeeBee baffle kit on my Bravo about 3 years ago, and it works great, Lowered the temps. Wasn’t to bad to install, Took about 10 hours to remove the old and install the new, could be done faster I guess , I’m just very meticulous though.
From what my IA tell me , the vacuum pump is living in a Extreme environment back there with all the heat from the turbo,and what I have Read about the vacuum pump on Bravo’s they sometime last, and sometimes they don’t? it hit and miss I guess? My thoughts are it on it way out? Was working fine before. Going to un-cowl and ground run it to start with.
Haven’t checked it a high RPM’s yet , after landing was dead tried,and put it away. It was fine in In a cruise before landing. Never turned on the back-up pump after landing . I will get out to the airport in the next few day here and check.
Thanks!
That is what I’m thinking , “on it’s way out” as well Lancecasper.

On landing rollout ,high- low vacuum pump light came on. Anyone ever have this happen? Replaced the stand-by Electrical engine driven pump last year with the Retrofit in the tail , thinking it the main engine driven pump? Has about 470 hours on it. Any advice is much appreciated !
