    Nor will you. After a long-suffering decline, they died a couple of years ago.

    I have been eyeballing this one. And I would replace the wire rope with a 50-ft synthetic. Even a tiny 3/16 synthetic claims a tensile strength of at least 1,000 pounds. https://www.harborfreight.com/1500-lb-120v-ac-electric-winch-61672.html

    That would require about a thousand feet of rope?

    How much winch did you get? Do I need 3,000 pounds, or will 1,000 pounds work for a not-too-steep incline?

    How did you get fuel pressure instrumentation?

    Has your glare shield "bump" been moved to the right?

    Ask the owner(s) to demonstrate their techniques for ingress and egress. I find that, once in, I have plenty of room. Getting in and out is more difficult for me. For me, this is just a footnote — it didn’t and wouldn’t affect my choice of Mooney. There are plenty of airplanes I can’t get into or out of at all these days.

    That's some good stuff. Where did that come from?

    Or that something was inadvertently changed when swapping cylinders.

    As I was typing that, I was reminded of an old pickup I had (bought as salvage) that had no choke — automatic or otherwise. I could get it started in single-digit temperatures, but I just about wore out the accelerator pump. Fifty pumps with key off, start cranking, and continue pumping. It would come online one cylinder at a time, and eventually smooth out. Fun times, no money.

    Good observation. Sometimes I think that even BFRs or primary instruction have turned into trick questions instead of flying.

    I don’t have a carburetor, but I read once (Mike Busch?) that if it won’t start and it’s hot, you probably over-primed, and if it’s cold you probably under-primed.

    If it’s the breakers and switches, that’s a problem. But if the rocker covers are loose or falling off, we have a couple of members who 3D print replacements. Someone will provide names in a minute.
  14. Fly Boomer
    Just Google toggle switch.

    Zeftronics says 14 volts. I thought your 1994 was 28 volts?
