I know this is a common thread but I thought I'd still throw it out to get some help. I need to sell my 1966 M20E. Lost my medical along with some other problems. I see prices all over the place right now. Some asking around $140k for what I have and then looking at brokers like GMax has one at $100k. Where are we at? I'll list all the specifics later but just looking for general input right now. Dick

I believe that what you showed is what flying is all about. What a sensation.

I haven't recieved a thing from you. Dick

I really don't mind spending a few shipping $s to get it to you to see if it works. For whatever reason there are no parts number on anything. Let me know and I'll work with you. DD

Just let me know if you want them. I could ship them to you and see if they work

Is this what you need? Dick

I have a spinner off of my E Ser. # 930 that I just replaced. I'm out of town for another week but will check and get back to you when I return. It had a small crack that we drill-stopped a few years ago and seemed fine. Dick

Best spot out of Felts, into the river. North or south

I've been a little bummed out because of this and haven't responded to all the comments. But I want to thank all of you for the positive feelings you all have given me. It makes me realize the FAA isn't rational at times. It makes no sense to me and I think I will now sell the plane and quite after forty years of flying. I'm 78 but still viable and strong but problems happen. The plane is in the best shape it's ever been. With the turbo I fly well east or west out of Spokane mostly between 15 and 17. Going to miss it. Don't want to pay all the fixed costs for the next 6 to 8 months not flying hoping it will change. Thanks guys and gals. Dick

For those of you that are smarter than me this probably wouldn't happen. Been operating under a Basic Med since it started and worked fine. I have a home in Canada and thought I might try to get my Class III so I could fly up there again so applied. I was denied and now find out I can't go back or just continue my Basic. At least six months to get a Special if I can get it. And I just got my 66 E out of annual. Word to the wise. Check with AOPA before doing anything. Lesson learned. Dick

I just love the wit and humour that comes across these pages. Thanks

Is this something we can do as owner maintenance?

Thanks for all the comments. Sometimes we forget how many models there are and the differences. Mine is a 1966 M20E. The circuit breakers are on the lower right side. Very easily accessable and have only two screws and wires. As an add. I was certified marine mechanice with Mercury when I was in my 20s. Dilck

Quick question to the group. Does replacing a circuit breaker fall under Owner Maintenance like replacing a fuse? Thanks Dick

Just curious as to how many out there have had the engine sputter when you can't turn the tank valve fast enough and get caught for a few seconds in the off position. And yes I have made a very nice PVC tool now. Dick

I can't imagine having a better plane than my turbo '66 M20E

I have a '66 M20E with a Ray Jay on it. Should I be able to maintan around 29 to 30 manifold pressure at 12k?

Alright Mooney friends need help. Just had a new rebuild from Western Airways put in my '66 M20E. I had a lot done and more money than I ever expected. New prop etc. Also had a SureFly installed. The engine will start immediately when it is completely cold. If I run it even ten minutes or more and then try to start it will not take. With my other engine I had no problem learning a sequence that let me start it no matter how hot it was. I tried every veriable I can and the only one the works is to completely flood the engine and then crank the hell out of it with no mixture and full throttle and I'm going to ruin my Sky-Tech. Any input. Could the timing be off or what? Wrong plugs? Thanks in advance. Dick

Thanks for the input. That makes sense. I don't have to rewire it and the wires are diffferent. JvsK. I did read they say to use anti seize.

Thank you everyone for you past inpute. I did pick up a used JPI 700 and all the harness and probes I need and am getting ready to install it. Couple of quick questions. As I understand it I need to keep my OEM CHT. So do I connect that probe to a spark plug and the JPI to a bayonet? Do you use a bit of locktite on the probes going in to the heads? Dick

I went the cheap way for my '66 E and got the visor with a ram suction ball. Works when I need it and can take it off if it's in the way. DD

Mine will be finished next week. I pulled some wires out of the dash and am not sure of the connection so am having a radio guy connect for me. But this is what I ended up with after buying a few the wrong size. https://www.amazon.com/DIYhz-Button-Self-locking-Switches-Latching/dp/B07XT6K5B8?pd_rd_w=d40ej&content-id=amzn1.sym.d1bf6bee-b588-4538-8422-ca1ad75c6390&pf_rd_p=d1bf6bee-b588-4538-8422-ca1ad75c6390&pf_rd_r=5PD971SFETV9K9MJ0QF3&pd_rd_wg=JYzFC&pd_rd_r=094fbc2f-00b8-4296-91a6-36d32ae156f1&pd_rd_i=B07XT6K5B8&psc=1&ref_=pd_bap_d_grid_rp_0_1_ec_i

Thanks everyone. This is what I was looking for. Possible options for a temporary install to protect the engine which I have never had with the intent of getting full panel next year or so. DD
