The Mooney Pare parts manual shows a 6048-19 part number, but does anyone know what tomuse as a replacemet for those short rubber hoses at the wing roots? -

Do I need to pull my prop?
Spike Kavalench replied to Spike Kavalench's topic in Vintage Mooneys (pre-J models)
Seems logicsl... the previous mechanic didn’t disassemble anything, he just flushed it from the outside, I presume...thanks for your input. -
Do I need to pull my prop?
Spike Kavalench replied to Spike Kavalench's topic in Vintage Mooneys (pre-J models)
Thanks for all the input guys. I guess we’ll pull it and have a prop shop flush the hub. Cheers! -
So I had the engine overhauled because of a main bearing chewing itself up. We overhauled the prop governor, replaced all the oil hoses and oil cooler, but after flying it two hours I find out the mechanic only flushed the prop and did not send it for a contamination inspection. We’re doing the annual now and my current mechanic thinks the prop should be sent in for a contamination inspection. The prop still has two years on it before it needs a 10 year overhaul (Canadian requirement). Do I need to pull the prop and have it opened up? Also my spinner is cracked so I may have to pull

I switched to Slickstart, works great.

My Mooney M20b Adventure

Thanks for checkin in, fellow B Model flyer. Sorry I don’t have any performance data but I have only flown my plane about 7 hours in the last year because I had to have the bottom end overhauled and we’re still trying to iron out issues we keep finding. Now we’re starting the annual so it’s going to be a while before I get to do any serious flying. Keep those old B models flying! -
