This bandit caused the issue.

It was the tag sensor (RPM pick-up)on the LH mag. Do you Guys know the part number?

Thanks for all your input. The plane is in the workshop now, I will let you know how they fix the problem. Br Lars

We have an issue with our Mooney Ovation 2 year 2005 with Garmin 1000 avionics. It started when the throttle was reduced, the engine instrument fuse (MFD fuse) poped out. Now it pops out all the time. Has anybody experienced that problem on your speed machines?

Ram air type.

This is the issue! The pipe that is supposed to return the oil to the engine is only Ø3-5 mil in inside diameter. That will probably return some very hot oil in Texas temperatures, but not much in Danish average temperatures. We cleaned the seperator and the tubes.....no difference after an hour flight to Sweden. The same mess. I hate it!

Thanks Clarence. We will make sure that will be done! By the way this engine has been downgraded to 280 HP as the 310 HP conversion is not allowed in EASA reg. Lars

The "leak" is for sure comming from the separator. I spend an hour yesterday examining the engine with a flashlight, everything is totally clean and free from oil. After a 30 min flight this much (see pic.) came out from the separator drain. It's a mess! We have quite some "mayonnaise" (that's what we call oil whipped with water / moisture in DK) / in the oil filler pipe (see the secound pic.). Is that something your Guys see on your engines (IO-550) as well? The plane is keept in a heated hangar and flown at least one hour every secound week. Lars
