I changed that arm in my B model to get the extra travel , there is a hole , it was a bitch to get the wrenches into the tail , and I used a bent nose needle nose to walk the bolt out and into the elevator , that bolt is about 4 inches long .....

I ship about 250 packages USPS a year , their two day service between three zones is a third of fedex/ups..... I have never lost one , but I had two that disappeared for 2 to five weeks......in the last 5 years ......I always ship Signature required....

I don't like the zero on the pressure , that is not acceptable , not even a little , Have your A&P do a pressure and volume check on the fuel pump , If you have good pressure at Idle and cruise , you may have a volume issue , perhaps dirt in the screen , perhaps a pump issue with the engine driven pump , but have it checked out , Brian at Doylestown is well versed in Mooneys if you don't already have someone , Also Bob Cameron at South Jersey Regional has Mooney specific experience.....Both very reasonable rates....

Seth send it out to Todd and have it tested and tagged , if it is good 104.00 if it needs an alignment and bulb maybe 200.00 it will ebay for 450 to 550 ... The Green tag was the removal tag....

Thanks guys...

Yes it is a big deal to remove, the tubing is heavy vinyl and should not need to be replaced....

sold

I would lean towards a new set of rotors , these are overlooked a lot , when they wear they do not wear evenly , and they get a glaze over years of use , that is not conducive to good friction.....If you have a good solid pedal(s) I don't think that it is a fluid or slide issue.....although fresh fluid is a great Idea from preventative maintenance standpppoint....p

If that doesn't work , I have a used 64 you can have for 750 , or a 62 that's got a bad receiver with a good display for 200.....

Actually the exhaust hangers for automotive are made from used tires , I cant speak for the Mooney part , but that may be how they are made.....

Sale pending , thanks Ross

Brittain bellows removed from salvage aircraft 150 for the 4 and I will throw in the vinyl tubing that came out also , You may get a few good ones out of these , if not they will serve as good cores .....

Cliffy I have a great tool made by Lisle that removes the broken end of the spark plug in the head on the engine...Takes about ten minutes a plug......Lisle is amazing for that type of stuff , also Help motormite makes a kit for the earlier tritons that has a sleeve that threads into the stripped out hole stays there and accepts the new style plug , and has a short boot to make everything fit under the coil........

Peter I have nothing to prove , you are certainly capable of calling the dealers to verify , I have people lined up to have me work on their vehicles , In fact I seem to remember installing an evaporator core in YOUR Jeep , I also remember it had a broken mode door arm , that the dealer required replacing a 500 dollar evaporator case that I found available in China for 8 dollars to save you money , That is why I have a 5 star yelp rating , I certainly would not lie to spar with you , I have experience on my side ...And the Jeep paperwork you already have!!!!!

I have all of the connectors and the mount for the gyro , you can have everything for 200.00 that will be 6 connectors , and a mount with the new style isolators....

I would have to check , but I might be legal with the Dealers Registrations I have , as far as transfer is concerned , It doesn't matter where the transaction takes place....Also as far as stuff hidden in the airplane you can visually see anywhere in the airplane with mirrors and a screw gun in less than 30 minutes..... He says it is a VFR flight plan to leave Mexico , and also that it is a single set of tanks to get to Texas , he says all the scary stuff you hear about is near the border in certain towns..... It has an AD prop....It seems to be a 20 to 25 K plane....

I spoke to the owner at length , The plane is 15 K , it is currently inspected and flying , He has lost his medical , he is very knowledgeable about Mooneys and especially the B model , If he is a scammer , he is really really good , He owns a Hotel in Puerto Vallarta and has offered to put me and my wife up for free if we come down to look at the plane...... It is tempting...

Pete I find it amusing that you have NO PRACTICAL KNOWLEGE of automotive at all , NONE ... ATF quiets lifters , end of discussion ....water in the intake charge will clean the piston tops , solvents in the combustion chamber will free stuck rings and clean ring lands..... I used to put rislone in Acura engines at the dealership under manufacturers service bulletin for you guessed it noisey lifters, I used to put GM top engine cleaner in intakes under manufacturers warranty for rough Idle , BMW currently puts friction additives in transmission fluid for slippage...All additives .... All very effective......

The nicest B was the one I built , I sold it to Kurt Snyder he flew it 400 hours and now is a professional pilot.....The only real drawback to the B was the fact that a lot of STCs were C and up , The rudder travel can be changed with a 50 dollar bellcrank in the tail , the 125 lbs of Gross is rarely an issue , and as far as resale value , you pay less for a B so you sell a B for less.....Most Lycoming 360s are good for 2500 hours or better , cams can fail , but it is extremely rare....maybe 1 in 50 engines get the spalled cam....Props run on condition , unless it is a hartzell with the AD , that plane came with a MaCauley so if it is the original prop , no AD ....Logs and prebuy are important , Mooney specific prebuy recommended for corrosion issues....

Herman , The install costs will be about 40 hours labor , also if you don't have a GNS430 or a KX165 or SL30 you will need to buy a KN72 nav converter ....also plan on spending about 400 to 600 for a bench check.....best to talk to the installing tech for more input...

So according to Pete since additives have no effect you should ignore the Lycoming service bulletin for putting in the additive on the H motors also...

Good explanation Byron , correct and on point , which is why a solvent or detergent based additive will usually work on these...

Yes it will work with anything but Narco....Pretty standard stuff

Jim STP wont quiet the lifters on startup , I have been an Auto Mechanic for 35 years , you may want to try about 6 to 8 ounces of ATF in the crankcase at oil change , I have been doing this for years on older cars , and it works about 90% of the time....You should consult with Peter first ......He is the expert...

The 950 doesn't use a tray , It bolts directly to the dash like a Gyro , You can gain about 3/8 of an inch by installing it on the front of the panel as opposed to flush mounting it ,
