  1. There is no way the actual pressure could do that fast of oscillations. The later Js had a cannon plug on the sending unit that got bad connections all the time. We put DC4 on the pins.
  2. I had a piper arrow with the same engine have similar problems. It was out on a lease to a flight school. I got a report of poor performance and when asked they said it climbed at like 250-300 Ft/Mn and was slow in cruise. Turns out the camshaft was flat. Being a constant speed, it still made take off RPM, mag checks were good. The aircrafts degradation in performance happened in a fairly shot time span, but in no way was it this slow in cruise.
  3. Mike Holy cow my plane!! well er.. your plane. That pic is in my hangar at spruce, incredible how clean my hangar was back then. I hope it is treating you well, I loved that Allegro. I am busy as ever, flying and running a leasing business. I own planes that I lease to flight schools and as always am busy working on others. My maintenance shop is pretty busy lately and I Hate to say it but I now have a 550 powered bona&%#@ that I fly 200 hrs a year. not nearly as efficient for the extra 15 knots. When you are in town, stop by, Lunch is on me. Best Bill
  4. I read here all the time but rarely add to conversation. I have owned a few mooneys in my day, but thats a different story. I sold that plane to JC, and the gang over at Daytona Aircraft. I was going to use it for my summer project but have too many going on already. After the sale, I was at lunch with him when we were pushing ideas on how to paint it back and forth across the table. we even talked about just leaving it white with decals applied but he wanted a quality strip and paint. There were as I recall 3 different paint ideas we both liked, and we got them from google searching "Mooney 201 Paint schemes" on the old I phone. I do this all the time to find ones I like, and we were torn between the Ovation scheme on a J and something completely different like new piper archers with the dark color on top. i liked a blue one we found that had a slightly different factory scheme, and he wanted to go with a two tone black white grey stripe thing. As a broker, we talked about what will sell and get the most ramp appeal. the ovation 2 FACTORY scheme was chosen and he liked the color combination of that particular plane, then we added how it would look with heavy tinted windows. As a matter of fact I think there is two or three color combos that are identical on the net, just search images. Although the checkerboard is the only unique item about the paint job, it was not applied to N119MB. Standard Mooney factory paint, he liked the color combo. thats all. to claim ownership of a color on a plane is crazy. and the scheme is standard Mooney stuff that was applied to the two planes in debate, and MANY MANY others. Daytona is a great place to bring a mooney, they do wonderful work maintaining and restoring them. They work on my planes at times and the comments about how he handles his business ethics is just wrong especially because he liked a color. I award you no points. I enjoy reading here. I will now go back to hiding....
  5. Its the hose for sure. I have replaced 2 already. horrible job. Every mooney I see with that pump and that hose has the problem.
