    Starter is installed and sealed up.
  2. Pictreed
    Only assembled. Although it needs a new rubber boot.

    Not sure if this washer is suppose to be zinc that goes to the solenoid? So I’m putting a brass flat washer on it.

    I’m wondering if this was some of my starter issues? Solenoid wire....

    Hopefully the new boot will be in by Friday from LASAR with a new gascolator gasket and o-rings. Someone didn’t have the proper gasket and shaved this one down...pic. We found a cross threaded fuel injector line this weekend. So hopefully fixing that clears up some minor back firing issues when the engine is started back up after fueling or such.

    Looks like a LASAR part? I'll order it tomorrow.
  7. Pictreed
    I'm wondering if LASAR changed the material or if they just copied it?
  8. Pictreed
    That brings up another question. The boot from the power boost into the fuel injection body has at least 1 hole. Some guys are saying to patch it. Do you guys have any experience with that? LASAR was out but should have some more in for a few bills.

    I’m ordering a new gascolator screen and gasket. The old one was pinched. We are pulling the injectors so I’ll make sure if anything got past it they are not clogged but if I’m not mistaken there is another filter past the auxiliary fuel pump. What micron is the screen? Looks like the gasket is 2”x1/8” Tim

    There are missing bolts...3 to be exact. You guys are good. Wait, are you guys talking about the one in the case? Is it missing or just not used?

    That mark on the flywheel is actually where I started counting teeth to make sure it was the right number...I think it was 149 teeth. At the time I verified it I knew but not sure now. Yep, I started to remove the alternator to get the starter off. Yes, good eye.

    The fuel pump is making great pressure so it will stay. Starter is in and I’m working on the gasket. I’ll use sharpened cans of appropriate size to cut holes in rubber mat...wait for photos and it will make sence.

    I think I’d rather fix things as I go instead of waiting for a failure but thanks for posting that. Beaides, if I ever get that Ovation I want the new owner to know I did what I could to make it reliable.

    I changed the topic name. I found this...hmmm. The guy I bought it from was helping me take the panels off. He didn’t know it was expired.

    Thanks, I was just wondering about the felt. Clarence, Lycoming said the bigger one will fit the carb version but will hit something on the fuel injection system. Were they wrong? FYI I called LASAR about the boot between the Power Boost and the throttle body and they said about $300 so I need to make sure I really need it.

    Sorry about the rotated pic
  17. Pictreed
    Here’s the two starters. Has anyone clearances their sheet metal for the new starter?
  18. Pictreed
    Ha. Tractor tight sounds scary. I’ve assembled 3 VW engines and some things were by feel but that’s been some time ago.

    I’m starting my first owner assist annual and replacing the MagnaFlite starter with a SkyTec. Does anyone have a torque list? Tim
  20. Pictreed
    I’m assuming the HT? Or LS
  21. Pictreed
    Lots of good info. I agree that you might have a Mooney guy look at your gear next annual. It takes a little muscle at speed but it shouldn’t be bad. Nerves may make it harder too. Lol I’m glad your sticking with the Mooney for training. This is the best time to learn about energy management. My method is reduce to gear speed before the FAF by throttling back to 15”-16”. Gear down just before FAF. If you pull too early then just go back to around 20” and reduce to 16” for a stabilized approach. Congrats for making the decision to get the IR.

    Mine was made in September of 65 but the N number is 5697Q but the SN is higher. That's odd, I figured it would all be sequential.
  23. Pictreed
    I'm about to start mine too. Wish I could live on the coast for a couple weeks..burrr!
  24. Pictreed
    I'll have to check that out. When I first got my plane the belt was slipping and I had to tighten it.
  25. Pictreed
    Not sure what the exact problem is but I know that starter may be reaching its service life so that will be the first step. Next will be looking at the alternator and regulator. I have adjusted the belt but it’s had the same problem (starting) through two batteries now. Mine are Concord.
