Adjust your cowl flaps so that when they are pushed fully closed they should be adjusted to 1/4 in. open that helped me with high CHT's it might also help you with air flow through your oil cooler. If that works you should replace the left cowl flap with the same one as the right having the opening for the exhaust pipe on both sides (better air flow) and then you can readjust the cowl flaps so when closed they are tight against the cowling. This all worked for me and I had my 1980, 201 for 30 yrs.

I had the same problem on my 201, on the back of the key switch mooney uses spade connecters, you have to go under the panel with a screwdriver and push all the spade connecters back on tight on the back of the switch. This will not be a permanent fix you will have to do this every time you see your ammeter start jumping around and I had my 201 for about 30 yrs. so you can plan on doing this once a year. This was not one of mooneys better ideas.

I just bought an 2005 Ovation with the G1000 and really like it. I had a 201 with a 530W before and really thought I'd miss the waas, vertical guidance is great but the minimums on a GPS approach are not much different than waas. I found the G1000 has it all over the steam gages. The last word I got from a good source says Mooney is looking at about 19K once they certify the G1000 with 55X for waas in the 2nd quarter of 2016. Right now I really don't know if the waas is worth it.

I had the same problem with my 201 check the battery voltage before start up you will probably find it low but it will start. I sent the JPI 700 back and they downloaded my last flight and saw a momentary voltage drop. they recommended I get a new battery and that solved the problem.
