We just had a Prestolite alternator overhauled “repaired” at Modified in Brooks KY for 279$. Can’t beat these guys. They get all my older stuff.

The GTx345 gives the audio traffic alerts. the GTN terrain alerts come from that box.

They do not repair the 28V Mooney regulators.

Update. I sent it to Don Maxwell had it repaired by his guy there. Looking back, I should’ve just bought a new PP or Zeftronics regulator, and cut the Canon plug off and wired it to the new unit. The 201 it’s easy to do. The 252 would require two of those.

i dont think it can. A GI275 will. we're putting in one this week in a PA30. I think an attitude G5 gets a position source from the primary GPS navigator via RS232 direct, and I also see a CDI scale at the bottom, but its very basic data.

yes 14,200$ but thats an "overhaul" no accessories. which isnt reallty an overhaul. When you ask for a new cam, lifters, and cylinders, its more than a factory motor.

I just sent in a client's KX 165 to be repaired. The screen is not repairable when you have enough digit segments go bad they just suggest you throw it away, but his is still working pretty good, but the nav part stopped working because of the electrolytic capacitors on the board go bad after a bit. I can show you the invoice but it's about 900 bucks to go through a 165 at Bevan, and then you're good for another 5 to 10 years. But it's also just about the cost of flat rate an SL30 which is SMT technology, and does not have failing electrolytic capacitors. Not much cheaper than flat rate repairing a G430W which has a hell of a lot more functionality than a king 165. KX170B's really aren't repairable anymore, Narco stuff is dead. So I'm not sure what to do except for an SL30 , or keep your good KX155/165 and pray for rain, or pony up some serious coin and buy a GNC 255. As far as GPS's go well there's one option may I guess to you can buy 430 or 530 or a GTN something that's it. I mean, I was in the same position, I had two KX170B/s and a KT76 transponder. the KT76 cavity failed, I paid 1200$ for a 76A. then the #1 NAV would only receive the GS inside 9 miles and the #1 COM would mysteriously go silent for 5-10 seconds at a time. so we would tune both nav coms to the same freq all the time.

I waited around several years for the IFD540, and their DFC90 Autopilot, and, frankly, the GTN750 blows it away. So we bought a used 750 and installed it. Same with their other stuff, it just works. We're arms deep in another major upgrade to my buddy's PA30 Twin Comanche. It had a GTN750, and a G500. We installed a GI275, a G500 TXI upgrade, and, now, new CB panels, instrument panel, and a second GI275 plus WX500 stormscope. . It just works. Well, the S-TEC 55x autopilot is an issue, we have to buy an expensive annunciator to display the autopilot nav modes because that is proprietary. and the autopilot is good, but not great. And god forbid you need to service that thing, overhauls and exchanges are not cheap.

If somebody wants the 54 gallon part I would like the extra 10gal part

Looking for a Mooney M20K 252 or M20J 28V voltage regulator. Electrodelta VR802. thanks byron.

The Garmin EIS on the large panels looks really good, but a GI275 engine monitor is not only expensive, but the presentation is terrible.

That shelf back there is very noisy, even things like Pitot heat make it get crazy because mostly they avionics shelf handles all the current back to a post and then to the negative battery terminal. So there’s so much skin current back there it just kills the magnetometer. I put the one I installed in the right wing.

Not so sure about that statement in general. https://www.findlaw.com/injury/torts-and-personal-injuries/can-someone-take-my-photo-without-permission.html

I just replaced an oil filter adapter on a 172...the part was $188, from Aviall. It’s actually at Donaldson Item.

Then you lower the cruise speed. it isnt that simple.

They also work very well for the integrated Dukes fuel selector bowl.

Yes. I think it’s a 6-32 screw. Tap the hole carefully and put the helicoil in with loctite

There is also a stall speed certification requirement, IIRC its 60 MPH CAS, clean. More weight increases the stalling speed as well.

geez look at all the rust on the rear journal and the cam gear !

One technique, put the drill in the screw, and, don't pull the trigger, but turn the drill 90° and it breaks the screw loose. Then come onto the trigger. It's effectively backing it out the first part by hand

Especially LOP. The 25 degree spec, the airplane loses 3 KIAS at 25 LOP. The 20 degree spec, it slows down quite a bit more than that. It slows down more than the fuel flow decreases, yielding a lower NMPG

I heard that they did this to reduce warranty claims for rear cylinder cooling on Grumman‘s with the 200 hp engine. Lycoming actually does not have a brake dynamometer, they simply look at airflow and fuel flow and say well it’s making rated power...well you know you can run it full rich at 20° or 25° and the fuel flow doesn’t change much but the power at the crank does.

Jewell, from what ive seen, marks parts up threefold or more. When my friend asked for new lycoming cam and lifters rather than reground on his cracked case teardown, they told him nearly 7k more. When he asked why new 89$ lifters and a 400~ cam cost 7K, he was snapped at with "we dont negotiate parts prices". The rollers are ~250-300$ each

We are in agreement on that. If you choose to undo the SI, then undo it precisely.

What does the TCDS say for that exact model engine? And then what does the POH limitations say, if there is anything more limiting? Its not cut and dried across all models, but the M20JIO360 A3B6 is pretty simple.
