BuzzProc Posted February 7, 2016 Report Posted February 7, 2016 Happy Superbowl Bravo owners. I know this note is almost certainly going to be unsuccessful, but I have a 1999 Bravo, and my Manifold Gauge is about to go. I do have a JPI 830 so I have a secondary back up, but.... I believe the actual gauge is fine, but I think the issue is with the Patriot, Simi Valley, pressure Transducer, 65998-SP100-11--25A Does anyone have a clue where one might find a replacement. Again, thanks all and good luck later today with your team Buzz, N67TF Quote

tls pilot Posted February 7, 2016 Report Posted February 7, 2016 what is happening with the MP guage? sometimes they are slow or cannot read full pressure since a speck of carbon impedes the orifice the line is on the co pilot side and enters the engine near the middle cylinder You have to remove some of the baffles then screw the hose out. You may find a speck of carbon on it. You can also disconnect hose from cockpit and try to blow out the line while you have the other end of hose removed from engine. Quote
carusoam Posted February 7, 2016 Report Posted February 7, 2016 Buzz, What makes you start off with such negative thoughts? Fear of having to buy an expensive hard to obtain Mooney sensor? -or- Getting a JPI to read a stable MP or FP input? I'm hoping to hear that TLS-P's cleaning method works. Use caution when cleaning sensors. They may be sensitive to scraping or scratching. That can get expensive quickly. Best regards, -a- Quote
BuzzProc Posted February 8, 2016 Author Report Posted February 8, 2016 Greetings at halftime. the MP gauge mostly bounces around at the bottom. Since I have a JPI 830, it uses the same line as the Moritz gauge. So my Mech thinks the line isn't restricted, and is not sure he would be able to test the gauge itself. However he thinks it is the transducer thus we are looking to see if there is a shelf out there with one on it. thanks for responses so fare Buzz Quote
carusoam Posted February 8, 2016 Report Posted February 8, 2016 Buzz, you may be interested in some steps other people have taken with similar hardware... See if that is close. Best regards, -a- Quote
Godfather Posted February 24, 2016 Report Posted February 24, 2016 I would really appreciate some more feedback from -r and -m owners that had success fixing this issue. Similar to DaveC in the link above my replacement unit is reading very low. Quote
