Fuel lube is like a thick sticky silicone. Fuel will not wash it off. I used it when I installed my drains, no problem. Do not use any other kind of anti-seize. Just a light coat on the threads and seal.

It attaches to the door.

When in doubt, I send in a 337. Doesn't take long to fill out.

I installed a seal from Aircraft Door Seals LLC. Bought it from knots to you. Much cheaper than pneumatic. Removed old door seal and used a plastic scraper to remove as much old seal and glue as possible. Cleaned with acetone,(carefully). Then used the 3M Yellow glue to install. Lubed the seal, closed it slowly while making sure it tucked in correctly. smashed it closed and left it for a week in hot weather. Works perfect.

That is a restrictor. It keeps the pressure gauge from fluctuating from pulsating action from the fuel pump.

To do it right you need to open the tank and use fuel tank sealant on the inside where the tie down comes through. Better to do it right the first time than right after many times.

If the hoses are stiff, now is the time to change them.

Nice!!!

You have the same part number as mine. I could not find one so that is why I sent it out for repair.

Sounds like time for your pump to be overhauled. Also you manifold pressure gauge needs repaired. Consolidated instruments in Teterboro repaired mine. They found some corrosion in it. Or you can spend more and install an electronic engine monitor with MP.

Higher Graphics could make them for you.

Other factors to look at as well is the condition of the nose gear truss. Is it bent? Spar corrosion is a big factor too. Open all wing panels and inspect. Also pull the carpet and padding in the interior and look for corrosion. Open the interior at the wing roots and look for blue fuel stains as well as in the wing and gear wells. When was the tanks last sealed? Very labor intensive to strip and seal. How old are the landing gear shock discs? Do all of the avionics work? Auto pilot work? Is the brake system leaking fluid? Have you inspector swing the gear and also do a breaker check. Check flight control rigging with rigging boards. A mis-rigged Mooney flys slow. All of these add up.

N679M? I bought a Mooney F that the cam was in bad condition. You could check the oil. If it is very fresh see if you can fly it for about an hour. Take a sample and pull the filter and send it in for analysis. Any steel in it move on. Depending on how it was stored will determine if the cam is bad. I am in Indy also and know that in winter with the temp and humidity changes, the cam will get moisture on it and just if not preserved or an engine dryer kept on it. Just bought a Drybot for mine.

This is the kit that Lasar sells. It lists the part numbers if you want to buy them separately. I lubricate them with EZ Turn Lube.

I would not attempt to repair. There are plenty for sale on line that are used.

If I win Powerball, I'll be calling!!!

I use nickel anti seize.

The rigging on this is more difficult than a Cessna. You definitely need rigging boards. My M20F was rigged left elevator down left flap up and the opposite on the other side. This creates a lot of drag. There isn't a straight surface to use an inclinometer with any accuracy.

The sealant is probably deteriorated from heat on a high seam. Should be easy to find and fix.

Rather than a full overhaul you could ask for an Inspect and Repair as Necessary, (IRAN), that would save money. They will only replace what is needed and bench check it saving money. It would come with a yellow tag and 8130.

I just had mine repaired by Consolidate Instruments in Teterboro, NJ. You can have it repaired as opposed to overhauled for less money. Took a couple of weeks for them to get to it but then they fixed it in a day.

It will be a big job to replace, but to repair will require removal of the wing anyway.

I hve used the plasti red and orange scrapers. They dull very quickly. Plexiglass wi mar the Alclad and Alidine. I have just bought a couple of nylon scrapers fro Aircraft Spruce and they are working well and keep the edge longer. Probably only six more weeks of scraping...

My mistake it was Irmin and it was the secondary spar. BAS Parts Sales has a wing for M20c for $5k. I think that is the way that I would go as opposed to a repair.

That will depend on many factors: How much is the plane worth? Are you doing the work or paying a shop? There is a blog on here where someone just replaced it, Could check that out. I believe it was Alan Fox.
