    1966 SN 3386 Yes the elevator still moves up and down with trim adjustment. I will get this issue resolved before I fly again.

    When it’s indicating take off trim the elevator is almost fully deflected up. My IA says they didn’t touch the trim indicating mechanism during annual. Anyone have any idea what this could be caused by?

    Compressions were 71,72,70,70 last March. Now that you mention it there is very little resistance when I pump the throttle prior to starting. Is the accelerator pump part of the carburetor? Because I just replaced the carburetor with a rebuilt one in September of 2023.

    My A&P and I tested my shower of sparks and it works fine. He says it looks like a welding arc coming from the spark plugs in all four cylinders. I replaced the Gill battery with the Concorde RG-35axc and it cranks wayyyyyy better now. But still won’t start easily. So I’m guessing I have a fuel or compression issue maybe.

    I appreciate everyone’s input here. I will get a replacement or have a certified welder repair my part.

    Sent you a PM

    I’m not a welder but I’m willing to try. What kind of welder did you use?
  8. M20 Ogler
    Yeah, that might be what I end up doing

    While troubleshooting my ignition we found this bracket was broken. Anyone know where I should look?

    Went to trouble shoot today and the plane started up and shut down multiple times no problem. Like it just rolled out the factory yesterday. Can’t find any obvious shorts or open circuit. The wires and harnesses all look nearly new. Idk how to troubleshoot an intermittent problem.

    I think they where replaced around 250 hours ago

    Yes I do a mag check before takeoff and they both work or else I would not fly. I have the original windscreen.

    I have Shower of sparks ignition. I can hear the vibrator buzzing when the ignition key is turned to “start”. Then I press the key in to engage the starter. But the engine won’t fire. Sometimes it gets started after I release the key. My battery drains after two or three attempts at cranking for 10 to 15 seconds so then I have to put back on the charger for a few hours. Maybe my battery is toast? Any quick and easy things I can check before I call the shop? Wires that may be loose or maybe I can spray electrical contact cleaner in the vibrator box? Thx

    I finished my Commercial pilot rating in my m20c. Going to start CFI soon but I’d like to be able to solo from the right seat to get used to the CFI point of view. Is there a way to add brakes to the right side rudder pedals?

    Giant RC plane I spent way to much $ on before I decided to start flying the real thing

    My plane came with hangar rash on both outboard trailing edge corners of the ailerons. Can this be repaired with out having to reskin or replace the ailerons?

    My IA says the rudder play on my C is beyond tolerance. Him and I are scratching our heads on how to access the rod end to correct it. Anyone here do this on a Mooney? Did you have to drill out rivets and remove skins?
  20. M20 Ogler
    Just got my plane back from shop. And they cleaned up the wiring under the panel and the yoke now moves noticeably more freely. Also now when I move the ailerons the rudder moves slightly. It didn’t used to do that. What do the controls feel and behave like on other Cs?

    Working fine on the ground. But after takeoff it continues to read 2700 rpm even after setting cruise climb power. The governor is working because I can hear the engine speed responding normally when I move the prop speed knob. This is the old style mechanical tach on my m20c Is there some kind of pixie dust I can sprinkle on it to make it act normal?
  22. M20 Ogler
    It comes with an STC. But I want to make sure everything is good

    New carburettor is on now. Had to cancel test flight today because it’s failing mag check. When I switch to left mag I get a 300 rpm drop, rough running, and popping sounds from the exhaust. Oh the joys of owning an airplane

    I’ll ask them to check for intake leaks. The last time I had an intake leak it was caused by a warp in the in flange on the intake pipe on Cyl no 2 where it lands on the cylinder. It was backfiring at idle. Its not doing that now What it’s doing now is the idle was creeping down lower and lower and I’m being told there is no more room to adjust it back up. Also the engine is dying on my landing roll outs.

    Wouldn’t an intake leak make it run too lean?
