Currently what is the best recommended starter for the IO 550? Several years ago I replace the original Iska starter with a new Hartzell MRB-7000. The other day the engine would not start. I could hear the starter solenoid engaging but no movement of the starter. I removed the starter and checked to see if it was seized, but it turned freely. Thinking the starter may have a dead spot I reinstalled it. The starter then worked normally. But now I don't trust this starter. Hartzell no longer makes the MRB-7000. So my options are to buy a new starter or have this one overhauled. I checked on prices on new starters and I can't believe they want over 4 grand.

While on a IFR flight in my Ovation and in IMC, both the 750 and 650 quit transmitting. I then had alot of static from both radios. I ended up squaking 7600. After trying turning one radio off at a time that was no help. Then I thought it might be the internal audio panel. After pulling the circuit breaker for the audio panel I finally got the 650 working. The rest of the flight was without further incident. The next day I checked the radios. The pilot headset was dead. I could key but no audio. My mechanic started checking everything. He pulled the pilot's side interior side panel. All of the connectors looked fine. After tracing the wiring he found a connector. When he opened the connector it was filled with corrosion. After a careful cleaning, everything started to work perfectly. This connector is part of the factory original wiring.

It's almost time to replace my Moritz gauges. Any suggestions on a replacement. Also what did you do with the hole left by the Moritz gauges? Thanks

What I want to know is there an STC or factory kit? I have been told that all that is require is a hole drilled into the fuel tab and remarking the fuel selector.

What's involved with increasing Ovation fuel from 86 to 100?

Both of my recognition lights have burned out. I removed one of the lights and it said 14 volts. The parts manual shows a dropping resister, so this makes sense. But when I checked the voltage at the connector, it showed 24 volts. So the big question is do I order the new Whelen recognition lights in 14 volts or 24 volts?

My right wing white nav light has burned out and when I went to replace it, the cost of 58 dollars kind of blew me away for such a small light bulb. Does anyone know of a cheaper alternative or maybe a LED option?

I just had two GI 275s installed. I wanted the installer to remove the vacuum system, but when they discovered that an Airwolf system had been installed, they said they could not remove the vacuum system because the Airwolf system uses pressure from the vacuum pump. So to remove the vacuum system I need to remove the Airwolf system unless there is another idea. Does Airwolf make a system that doesn't use pressure from the vacuum pump?

One of my batteries is at the end of it's life. I got 4 years out of it so I'm happy. But today I started a search for a replacement battery. It seems that they are in short supply for some reason. Aircraft Spruce- No stock, SkyGeek - backordered, Pilot shop- no stock. I even checked Wag Aero and no stock. Anybody have any ideas?

Prop seal. Had to change mine recently. Exact same symptoms.

Here is the direct info on repairs from Precise Flight. 2000-Series-SpeedBrake-Service-Guide-8.1.20.pdf

I was finally able to get the controller box out through the bottom. It wasn't easy as I have TKS and alot of plumbing goes through that area.

I have no options but to send my speed brakes to Precise Flight for repair. But they want the controller too. The parts manual shows it is located under the floor just aft of the rear seats. Do you access it through the bottom or is there access through the top under the baggage compartment carpet?

Flat rate just like Garmin.

They are no selling parts anymore only flat rate.
