SkyDweller Alternator Update
“As an update, someone on here suggested checking for grounding. Through that process, I found that the terminals for the cable grounded to my engine block were very loose. They were wiggling inside of the terminal and one pulled out of the terminal quite easily. Since using a hydraulic crimper to rescue terminals I have been unable to recreate the issue. Hoping it was in fact that simple!”

Heavy Icing Possible DFW to Alabama, Thursday, Friday

The subject of T on top of the engine has already been discussed a couple of times, but in regard to injected engines and their respective spider location. My engine has purred happily for 20 years, producing 2.2K hours of unaltered pleasure, and is actually being replaced by a brand new...

B&C BCS206 starter on IO-390 with Avstar fuel servo
BCS206 starter will not fit the IO-390 with the avstar fuel servo as the throttle body bolt as indexed hits the back of the starter. Has anyone found a fix for this? Just to be clear, it isn’t the throttle linkage - it’s the roll pin index to the idle stop. There isn’t enough throw. The...

PlanePower Alternator Alternative?
I have the Plane-Power AL12-EI60/B on my IO-360-M1B. I consistently see 14.4v on the SkyView EFIS. From the Plane-Power FAQs: Thanks for the correction. Good to know.
