  1. That’s what Gatorade bottles are for!
  2. My only other reference was my ovation with the same engine sans turbos... that engine ran great @50deg lop, and the gain in speed didn’t justify the fuel burn. when I try to lean the acclaim, at 8-10k (at all mp’s) it doesn’t even get to 30deg lop before it starts to get rough cht’s are pretty fairly matched as were the egts with the biggest disparity being between 3&6. If I leaned further it simply got rougher. I can achieve some lop operations smoothly at low altitudes and low mp. I have always read, and been told egt’s aren’t a factor in engine health. My mechanic who is well known and respected around here, when discussing this issue said that just isn’t true. He said elevated egt’s can damage your engine and plugs. I am not claiming to be a mechanic but I am far from helpless and he showed me the damage on my plugs. He cleaned all the injectors and still has the problem with 2&4. I ordered gami’s today. At this point $500 is cheap compared to the commute back and forth to the mechanic, as well as his time, and can’t hurt anything. i am interested to see how they use the engine data from the data card I didn’t realize it was in a format I could import into a spreadsheet
  3. I’m having a very similar problem. Started at just rough lop, changed plugs, adjusted timing and swapped 3/6 to correct temp inversion injectors to see if that would help. Timing helped with starting, but still rough at lop. Brought it back changed diaphragm in the pump and cleaned the strainer, changed back injectors and same rough and now 2&4 are about 80deg higher egt than rest of cylinders. Mechanic said could be debris in injectors and cleaning today.
  4. Firehawk, i responded directly to you, check your messages.
  5. Hi,

    im a new pilot, but much newer mooney owner. 

    I just bought a 2007 ovation, non waas with the Stec55x 

    im a little confused with the vernacular and myriad conflicting reports, descriptions and quotes. 

    I would like to enable the waas, and upgrade to adsb-in/out at the same time when I do my annual this year. Can you tell me where you had your work done and what your ultimate cost was?  You didn't upgrade your transponder did you?

    i was told by don maxwell that I could upgrade my 330 for the adsb-in/out if I enabled the waas on the g1000, or I could get the 345 with its own waas for the adsb, but then would have to do more work if I later upgraded the g1000 to waas.

    i was also told the vnav portion wasn't really necessary, at least most of my peers tell me this  

    any guidance you could provide would be appreciated 

    thanks

    ray

      Hi Ray. Yes, I can definitely help you through all the options. Probably easier to do by phone.  Feel free to give me a call at 404.216.9900 (Atlanta) anytime. I'm always happy to talk about Mooneys!
