Anybody else planning on Copperstate? I'm coming down Saturday morning, returning Sunday, staying at the Best Western. I think Drew Dickinson and Tom ...
Probably not going there, but we do plan to fly to Colorado Springs this weekend. I plan to include the last two days of this week or the first two of next...
Hi Guys, About 2 minutes after starting, a "whine" type of noise started. It did not sound damaging, so I continued to run, and started trying different things...
I've had metal-vane vacuum pumps make noise, but when you say "whine" it sounds more like alternator noise. Is the noise audible from the outside (not through...
I remember working on cars with a stethoscope contraption where you touched the tip to different accessories to isolate the source of noise. I wonder if ...
Hey guys - It is a long story, but the tech support folks at Continental told me in two separate phone conversations that the pinout for the hall effect tach...
... would be most appreciated. We had hoped to get the first flight off this weekend. > John John Borrow a proptac and set it on your glareshield. Works great...
John, The sensor didn't work on my engine also. IO550-N13BR Factory rebuilt. I have the Vision Microsystems engine monitor. Once I swapped out the sensor...
Hello Folks - Many thanks, as always, for the quick response and thoughtful suggestions. I marvel every time at the quick and generous responses from the...
John, You all remember my "psycho RPM" story. I still have the original Hall effect sensor that came with my engine. It's yours if you want it. The one ...
Mike - Thanks for the offer. Let's keep yours in reserve. Mike Salzman's, mine and yours are all suspect. It may have been TCM's weird pinout scheme or poor...
John, I connected my original TCM with red and black for power and green (I think) for the signal and it worked fine 90% of the time. I know nothing about...
... The noise started instantly, a couple of minutes after engine start. My first thought was the alternater, so I tried turning loads on and off, but no...
Guys, One of my customers has a 300 HP Lycoming IO-540-K1A5, "0" time SMOH, with one mag and one electronic ignition for sale. He was going to put it in a...
Ron - Thanks for looking. Don't worry about it. We machined down a Westach sensor that is compatible with the Blue Mountain and it fits OK between the mag and...
I suppose it could be cavitating, but it is supercharged by the engine oil pump, so cavitation is unlikely. Could be, though. It could also be the control...
John, I had to remove my mag to change the sensor, then ask a mechanic how to get the silly thing back on, too many moving parts to line up. Learned a lot ...
OK, Calling all ES owners. Here is the trip of a lifetime. We have talked about an annual fly in will how about a ES tour. This looks like one of those “I...
Sounds like a great trip Bryan, but speaking for myself, I'd need WAY more time to arrange that much time off work and budget for such an adventure. This...
Bryan - I doubt if we'll be far enough along in flying/testing our ES for such a trip. I would be interested in having the same or similar agency do one next...
I agree. It doesn’t have to be this trip but this company does several during the year. They do one in conjunction with Sun N Fun. It would be great to get...
Hi Bryan, Now that (S&F) does sound like a potential Bryan... Ed Rosiak ... From: "Bryan Burr" <bjburr@...> ... I agree. It doesnt have to be this trip...
Hey Bryan...........How about a little easier trip to do to warm up to Cross Border flights. A trip to pet the whales in Laguna San Ignacio is complete with...
Bryan, Thanks for getting the discussion going on taking a ES caravan somewhere. I'm up for whatever works. It's interesting how our group is turning into ...
