I think you are wrong on the edm 711 NOT being primary for cylinder temp based on my quick research.

My bad. I guess she's a P.O.S...

It is being sold by Jimmy G...So pretty solid broker there. Almost double the time of my airframe, but she's a looker.

Definitely a "deal breaker"

I have a PM3000 and a KA134

I have a similar intermittent problem. I found that powering off the intercom and powering it back on FIXES the problem ever time.

I would prefer not to. This is a small shop that primarily does automotive repair work, but has motor specialty. I approached them and they took it on. Surely there are such specialty shops in the EU as well?

Surprise !They are.

What are you waiting for?

Then go to ebay and buy one?

Two weeks is up...

Ditto. I had a J Bar E Model. Now having electric gear (that is functional) I prefer it. No getting "stuff" caught during retraction. No inadvertent unbuckling of my or co-pilot seat belts, Just flip a switch. Nice. BUT, I also recognized that the actuator is a potential grounding component and having a back-up unit at the ready is critical. Box checked. I love all Mooney's. Increasingly I love the derelict as they are my potential parts supplier to keep flying Mooneys flying.

for those having a hard time, keeping up, there are plenty of motor repair facilities that can service a Dukes motor. The weak point in the actuator has also been addressed with the pending batch of gears to be manufactured and sold to service the fleet, keeping your eyes on eBay can result in a good bargain regarding actuator components. Contrary to popular belief, the J bar system is not infallible. Wear to the bar, handle, and lock points in the up and down block as well as physical demands to raise gear are an issue in the real world. Gear ups occur with improper seating of the bar into the down lock, and as a result of down lock failure due to wear resulting in the J bar not properly latching down and releasing with a fold up of the gear. Gear failures, whether Johnson bar or electric are likely to total an aircraft if not adequately insured.

Q Rodney King…

imagine coming to a thread and sniping and then presenting outrage when ridiculed. Now that's funny.

Lol. I agree Steve. Don't feed the trolls...

i am fortunate to have found a motor repair shop locally that has a VERY persistant employee. These motors are small and have small screws and assemblies that require finess to get properly disassembled and assembled. With regard to the brushes. They are unique and it is not easy to find the right brushes and make them fit. They found an old briggs lawn moweer brush that could be made to fit. Getting reassembled with proper connection to the drive was also a challenge. I quickly gave a second motor to them, as the "kit" came with two sets of brushes, and wanted to give them the business and take advantage of the knowledge learned from the first "ordeal".

Cue Blue Oyster Cult. Keep that parts network stocked. There is a Dukes gear system on Ebay for a mere $4100...

Something needs to change. This is onerous.

Not real without pics. Huffing and puffing in anticipation…

I replaced mywindows in my first Mooney years ago. I say this with the most compassion, If THIS is a roadblock you are way out of your comfort level and need to get assistance. Removing the old plexi is the easy part in the process.

You are kinda obtuse aren't you Jack? I'll try and remember and give grace.

There s so much brand bias here on Mooneyspace by a select group. Only on Mooneyspace can a thread about a new EI combination with Aspen be turned into a Garmin love fest. Not a great look.

thanks. I am good. I just wondered what everyone else is doing.
