Closing this out, after speaking with Hartzell several times, this is a known conflict on the IO-360 and they are not concerned about wearing through the boot. I’ve placed some silicone tape between the corner of the fuel fitting and the boot as well as compressing the boot against the starter body to lessen the contact pressure as much as possible. I’ll check it well during annual next April to ensure everything is still OK. I sure wish there wasn’t any contact, but it is what it is.

Great pirep.

It’s only 45 minutes away from me. Maybe I need to go take some pictures and post them here about 1 per week, just to mess with y’all.

Here’s Skytec’s fitment guide. J’s get either 149 NL for 12v andNL/EC for 24v.

My old starter is the 16 pound Prestolite.

It’s brand new.

That’s a definite possibility.

I’ll be making that call on Monday.

It looks like they have changed where the wire comes out, moving it aft about 3/8”. In your picture, the central line of the wire is almost at the mating line between the motor case and the rear cap. On mine, it is definitely moved further aft, which gets it very close to the elbow coming out of the fuel servo.

Here are some more pictures to show context.

That’s the fuel line running from the top of the servo up to the divider, or spider.

For those that have installed the 149 NL/EC on a J, did you encounter this interference and if so, how did you get around it?

Are you comfortable getting into Elk River NC06? I took a load into them yesterday and they’re hurting bad. The image below was as of Saturday, October 5th.

Dude, you’re such a rookie! Yank out that front seat and load it up with a case or two of water. Getting in is a bit of a challenge, but I’m sure you can do it.

Cheese!

I’m leaving RMG tomorrow with a load headed to HKY and then on to JQF to help with distribution. I do appreciate the $0.75 for avgas which brings it down to ONLY $7.00 at JQF.

125 is my target.

LED Replacement for Whelen Model #70303 Light
RoundTwo replied to StevenL757's topic in Avionics / Parts Classifieds
I agree with @Marc_B’s conclusion that a bit more development would yield approximately 33% more functional lighting by moving the light outboard and uncovering the 2 inboard LEDs. Oh well, still better than melted lenses. -
Man, you’re just not having good flying luck this year. It’s got to get better soon.

There is no signing up. Load IOS 18 and get busy. Easy Peasey.

I’m wondering how precise they interpret US boundaries because this would be great for over-water flights to the Bahamas.

For MooneyMax earlier this month, we flew KRMG direct to T82, 5.5 hrs @12,000’. We didn’t fuel up until we flew an hour east to KGTU. 8 gph @12,000’ was the key.

18 was officially released on September 16th.

The document with the details is in the first post.
