I don’t figure that it’s magically producing fluid, but maybe it is replacing it with air. It is overflowing. How do I find this Ross fella?

I found oil on my floor and after the initial panic, and pointing towards the nearest airport, I figured out it was fluid from pumping my flaps. It seems like the first three or four pumps do nothing, then the pumps start moving the flaps. Even after losing a significant amount, the reservoir is filled to the brim. The fluid is overflowing, not leaking. Someone knows exactly what this is. Please help. Thank you!

There’s nothing “wrong” with them other than age that I know of.

I am swapping the engine in my C soon. I want to have all foreseeable parts in the hangar before I become a regular person that drives everywhere, so we can do it quickly. Mechanic says we need to pull the engine mounts and send them in to be rebuilt and wait. That doesn’t make sense to me. Does anyone know if there is a more efficient option?

I guess I explained it wrong. I meant that once I land and am taxiing, the lowest idle I can get is 1100 rpm. With the power pulled all the way out there is still more power than I want when landing. It hasn’t always been that way and my mechanic has no explanation. It’s caused me a few go arounds because it’s Wearing out my brakes.

Hello, my m20c idles at about 500rpm when cold and when warm (trying to land) it won’t go lower than 1100 rpm. Does anyone have any ideas why and or how to fix it? Thank you.

So far I like Eric j’s explanation the best.

I don’t think this white ring has always been there. It looks like the metal is getting thin too. There’s a picture of my get/Cht in cruise. Any ideas?

Will the sabermech cowel ever be available to normal folks like me?

Because I fly to work and cannot afford the downtime of removing it and sending it out. I need to swap it out in one day.

Wow pmccand, that sounds like a pretty major undertaking!

Hello gentlemen, I'm sure this question has been posted and answered here somewhere, but I can't find the answer I'm looking for for the life of me. My 64 C model will not shut down when I pull mixture all the way out. The linkage is all good and the piece that the cable attaches to goes full stop both ways. (Sorry for the lack of technical terms.) the idle is rough too, but it flys just fine. I've decided to swap out the carb for a rebuilt unit. On this site I found that don maxwell recommends a different carb(10-3878m) than what I have (10-4164-I). I can't find the 3878m, only a 3878H. Is there anyone out there who can tell me where to go and what to buy?

Part ordered from lasar. Thanks guys. You made it easy. On another subject, plane won't shutdown with full lean. Idles roughly too. Our plan is to get rebuilt carb. Any thoughts? Best place to order one?

It's part #18 in Andys schematic. What amazing service! Now, where can I get one?

I'll get pictures tomorrow. Thanks for quick response.

Hello fellow pilots, I found out that my nose gear door is not closing due to a broken part of which I or my mechanic cannot even find on a schematic. It is a piece of linkage which connects to the truss (I think). And actuates the gear door actuator. I found it on my preflight before I flew to my ifr ride. Does anyone have any idea what this part is called and or a part number? Source? Thanks in. Advance.

Chris, I have these exact symptoms. All was well and then it started, that little vibration that everyone else says is normal. I only fly when I have to now because I know the vibration is not right and it makes me extremely uneasy. After reading your post I told my mechanic to order me a set of plugs and again I have hope! I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks
