In addition to the end of Shadrach's instructions: If your flaps still require more than the 4-5 pumps for full, leave the flaps down half way for a day...just walk away. This is advice from a member's previous post and it works.

@Rmfriday Referencing your two options, I'd go with the Garmin 175. You'll gain the flight plan transfer feature from both Foreflight and Garmin Pilot. The Garmin 175 will need a NAV indicator. I'm not sure if you have room for 2 NAV indicators (1 for KX-155 & 1 for GPS), but that would a nice redundant package.

Hi, I replaced mine with the below. Just ask for it to be made with 1/16" thickness. This topic was discussed in the years past. Just can't find the thread. Gasket Link: https://www.brownaircraft.com/Gascolater-Gasket-2in-OD-by-1-8in-p/gl-30-hd.htm

@carusoam Yes, so many variables with a carburetor......... @DXB I can't image not being able to use the entire RPM range in cruise due to CHT temps. Really strange.... Revisiting the picture below, do you have a upper baffle rubber seal across the entire cowl opening? I'm not sure if the doghouse design changed in the later years, but on mine a rubber seal hides all the sheet metal showing in your picture. Without the seal on mine, incoming air would route above the doghouse. PS. We could start a whole new (4th or 5th) thread regarding TAS...haha TC

@carusoam Great suggestion! M20C JPI Data: 8500 ft - WOT(just off MP movement) - 2500 rpm https://apps.savvyaviation.com/my-flights/22748/8e869d44-a2bf-4967-9a0c-2d8e3c38362e

@DXB C driver to C driver, My #3 & #4 cylinders run warmer in climb, then switches to #2 & #4 in cruise. I haven't had trouble managing the CHTs, even with surface temps +100. My typical initial climbs are 110-120 mph IAS - WOT - 2600rpm - 18-20 gph I'll provide some further data for benchmarking. Hope it helps.

My thoughts exactly....Surefly delivers tomorrow.

@philiplane Thanks for the information. Yes, the RH mag is a single contact (point) with 70hrs from last service. @carusoam I've forgotten about that corrosive oxygen....thanks for guidance and definitely share most of those opinions...

Robert, Good eye, the circled are appears to a slight yellowish coating on the surface and the arrow looks like some FOD.... My focus is on the contact assembly failure....metal cracked and surface rust after 70hrs. Makes me want to inspect the RH mag which the contacts where replaced at the same interval. Travis

Hi, I recently (1/16/22) had a Slick Mag (4347) failure. After post inspection we found that the primary contact spring metal arm was cracked; leaving the contact open. This contact (M3637) was replaced 2/2020 and had about 70hrs on it. My questions to the community: 1. Is this a common failure area 2. Is surface rust common on the spring metal arms (see pic) Thanks, Travis PS: Installing a Surefly

Kev, Here's one on eBay that will probably fit yours. https://www.ebay.com/itm/144223724307?hash=item2194676313:g:nrYAAOSw2iphTG6L
