Thanks for the tip. I’m not planning to remove the ceiling panels, but I’ll call them to see if it’s a more reasonable solution than the kit.

Thanks all for the feedback. A MSC found the insulation kit associated with the SB…for $750.

Hi all, I'm currently getting new insulation installed in my '78 J. The shop doing it is concerned if they use the aluminum-backed insulation, they'll need to degauss afterward which in the past they've found to be time consuming. Just wondered what experience others have with this? Is degaussing typically part of the process when you carry out SB208? Or do others use another type of insulation without aluminum? Thanks, Matt

Looks like it does have the arrow pointing to the bottom of the tab. Good to hear it matches well with measurement. Thanks all for the feedback.

Probably an easy one: For Mooneys with 32 gallon tanks and 25G tabs, is the 25G usable mark at the bottom of the tab, or the drill hole that’s about 3/4” above it? Not trying to make my destination on the difference, but would be good to know. Thanks, Matt

Thanks, all. Seems to be adjusted to where I need it now...hopefully it will never need adjusting again.

Hi Skip, thanks for the feedback, though not sure I followed. Were you suggesting loosening those screws to get to the governor adjustment screw? We (and by we I mean the mechanic I was working with) managed to loosen the adjustment screw jam nut by holding a broken off piece of open end wrench with small vice grips. Then turned the adjustment screw by working the jam nut all the way down to the screw head until it locked against the screw head before working the nut back up the adjustment screw to lock it in place again. I read in another thread the A3B6D is easier, but seems like Lycoming really doesn't want anyone changing the governor setting on the A3B6.

Ack...we eventually got it with a normal open end broken off very short.

Does anyone have any tips on this? My mechanic and I have been trying to get to the jam nut on the screw for a couple hours now. Why on earth is the adjustment screw inserted from the bottom?

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I couldn't find the other thread on the fuel hose, but if it's the hose connecting the fuel servo to the divider, I'll just get that one replaced. If there's a screen just after the boost pump, I don't think it was checked. I'll look for it and ask my mechanic if the AD applies to my s/n if it isn't there. My J is a '78. I was under the impression that the screen on the servo was so fine, if crud was coming all the way back from the tank, it would either be filtered out there or too small to clog an injector. Is that wrong? Thanks, Matt

This thread is even older now, but just to follow up on my issue, the cowling vibration and cowl flap play ended up being due to a worn upper cowl flap rod end. The hole around the bushing had expanded. Repaired and there's no longer any vibration during either climb with cowl flaps open/trailed, or high-speed descent with cowl flaps closed.

Hi all, I know injectors get blocked occasionally, but I've had 4-5 blocked or partially blocked injectors since picking up my M20J in November last year. Before picking it up, I had a full chemical strip and reseal done on both tanks. Since then, besides several injector cleanings, I've had the gascolator and fuel servo screens cleaned. Both had gunk in them before cleaning. Since I've had more blocks since then I'm going to get those screens checked/cleaned again, but I wondered where downstream of these stuff might be getting dislodged from? Thanks, Matt

Thanks everyone for the feedback. Is the right side vent option only available from a specific manufacturer?

Hi all, My '78 J is up for its first annual with me, and I thought this may be a good time to replace the sort of foggy, green side windows. The windshield is fairly new and grey. I've seen a few comments in various posts about 3/16" vs. 1/4", grey vs. darkened, right side window, etc. Does anyone who has already gone through this have a list of the different options available for windows? Thanks, Matt

Good idea using the just in case tarp. I’ve changed the oil in our vehicles many, many times and still manage to end up with some splatter.
