I had the Electroair EIS installed just over 2 years ago in my 1990 Bravo. I had been experiencing an occasional stumble over the past year and thought it was fuel related, based on my A&P’s troubleshooting. I had my fuel servo, engine fuel pump, and fuel splitter all overhauled by Western Skyways. I still experienced an occasional stumble on climb out at full power, until my EIS quit working, no ignition at all—thankfully on the ground when the problem was discovered. After my A&P troubleshot with help of the EIS tech, the teeth on the small wheel were “eating” into the timing sensor and I needed a new Mag Timing Housing (MTH) replacement. I flew the airplane yesterday for the first time with the newly installed MTH, it ran the best it has run in two years until…it was sweet until 30 minutes into the flight when the engine had some hard misfires. I turned off the EIS after 3-4 sec. and the engine smoothed out. Safely on the ground, I turned off the mag with the EIS turned back on, the engine quit. The MTH cover was removed, the large timing wheel spun freely and the small gear wheel’s teeth are damaged. The “new” MTH is shot. I called the EIS tech with the problem today and I’m waiting to hear back.

Any Bravo owners have a PDF copy of the M20M maintenance manual that could share? If so, please email to connellc2@gmail.com Thanks

I’m replacing existing engine baffles with Gee-Bee baffles on my 1990 M20M. My existing baffles are not the original Bravo ones so it’s harder to match or “exchange” each old baffle piece, one for one, with the new baffles. The Gee-Bee baffle set is cut from the original Mooney baffle templates and has a few more pieces than my existing baffles. I’m seeking photos of either an original factory installed Bravo baffling or a Bravo owner who replaced their baffles with a Gee-Bee set.
