Brandontwalker Posted July 30, 2018 Report Posted July 30, 2018 For those of you who have removed the ever so trusty vacuum systems from your planes, I am looking to help you prevent a vacuum regulator from collecting dust on the shelf. I have noticed that my regulator is acting odd in that the suction starts off very high and, after 30-45 minutes, settles down into the green and remains steady for the remainder of the flight. An uneducated guess leads me to believe it is a vacuum regulator issue. I believe mine is model 2H3-10. If you have one you are willing to part with on the cheap, I am interested in taking it off your hands so I can patch this system until it is shelved for a pair of G5's. Quote

N201MKTurbo Posted July 31, 2018 Report Posted July 31, 2018 The J regulator has a manifold on its inlet side. I don't think this one is a direct replacement. You will need to do some custom plumbing. Quote

I don't think this one is a direct replacement. You will need to do some custom plumbing. Mine is a 1977. It appears many components from the F's were used when building the early J's. As best I can tell, the regulator was probably one of them. I have not been to the airport today to confirm, but Dr. Google has several firewall pics from 77 J's which have a single hose attachment on the firewall side. I have confirmed a single hose attachment on the interior side of my regulator. See for example: Edited July 31, 2018 by Brandontwalker Quote
N201MKTurbo Posted July 31, 2018 Report Posted July 31, 2018 The difference is inside behind the panel. In the inlet side. The outlet goes to the pump. Quote

glenn reynolds Posted August 6, 2018 Report Posted August 6, 2018 how about a spare vacuum gauge and some air filters? and Even a 24 volt electric standby vacuum pump? If you need it I have it. Glenn Quote
