Prop comes back tomorrow! Crank plug looks fine and no sludge built up in the shaft area. The IRAN'd governor was pressure tested before install and is putting out the correct pressure. Waiting to find out what Byam's found on the prop - hoping to test it out ASAP. -Don

Cool AOPA article M20E w RaJay... 198602-1965 Mooney M20E Super 21.pdf

Well, did a maintenance flight today, ground ops much better after Byam's went through the governor but air ops still not there. Wednesday, prop coming off for a look through. -Don

So, talking to AIR-O and Byams, they both recommended using the McCauley governor (gone through by Byams) and test the operation before doing the prop. So, we're putting things back together and, weather permitting, go and test it out... Hoping the weather holds... -Don

My G5 was $1500 labor (installed) w GMU 11 and GAD 29B- I bought the G5 though... $8500 does seem a bit much... -Don

I can ck with Air-O. Thanks for the SB... -Don

Well, the intrigue keeps going - Byam's checked the prop governor and she is bypassing very little but, not enough to cause the prop reaction so - we're removing the prop as Byam's suspects the prop may be 'gunked up' inside from limited use over the last 10 years. She was last resealed in 2010. Crossing fingers here. PCU5000 is being sent back as I already have the good McCauley according to Byam's. Nice that Byam's and Air-O Specialists are working to get things working. -Don

Plane is at air-o (http://airotexas.com/). Working with Byam's to get some details on the governor- may go with McCauley after Byam's look at my current governor (they want to look at it before I move forward). Both service centers are really helpful with working through this. Weather is going to suck for the next week so this is good time to do this. -Don
-
I figured the years also. It's the good McCauley and rebuildable but, having a new PCF will be nice and a first run. -Don
-
Well, finally found the log entry to find out the governor I have: McCauley C290D5 16 years since last overhaul and has 564 hrs on it. Prop cable and bracket replaced at that time too... Very interesting with it bypassing on such low time... -Don

As luck would have it, a shop @ McKinney is also opening up @ KGYI - right across from my hanger. The FBO said they're a good group of folks so I'll let everyone know how it goes,. Savvy didn't have anyone close to recommend so I was on my own with this one... -Don
-
Yeah, I'm going to take the advice given. I canceled the appointment for tomorrow and contacted Savvy to see if we can find someone to come out to KGYI. I'm cautious too and I'd much rather wait for them to come out. Seems the prudent thing to do since 'she' is talking to me. She sure did fine over the weekend but, that was in the pattern. Rather not risk it for sure. Thanks everyone... -Don

I already added the link a bit ago ;o) had to re-save the link again... -Don -
She gets installed this Thursday (May 6th) ;o) -Don

It does adjust, it's taking more adjustment than I like. This is a preemptive replacement. I did talk to the shop so we're in sync. I flew it Saturday and was still able to adjust and cycle the prop. When I flew it for the cross country flight, it was just after oil change. Talking to David, I flew it in the pattern several times to make sure she cycles. That appeared to help it. Flight to the shop will be at Cessna speeds as a precaution ;o) -Don
-
Prop governor and mag go in tomorrow! All scheduled. Flying locally to keep her moving. Running great - hard to believe I have almost 60 hrs on her since I got her on 12/4... Almost 9 hrs since oil change - added half a quart this past weekend... I'll do a maintenance flight before going to far but looking forward to a longer stretch! -Don
-
Ditto what Don Kaye said... really like mine... -Don

I use the silicone tape also. The liquid electrical tape sticks and is very hard to get off but, one could tape over and then cover with the liquid tape.

Have you tried liquid electrical tape? https://www.amazon.com/Star-brite-Liquid-Electrical-Tape/dp/B0000AXNOD this stuff is at Lowe's too: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000FPAN2K/ref=twister_B074RB7H1W?_encoding=UTF8&th=1 I've used it on my race car - great for rips, is very flexible, can seal very well... 4 years on an it's holding up well! -Don

And they have a Facebook group now too...

Looks like it sold too... -Don
