Thomas-my F&M continues to leak and now the SB has turned into an AD. I am going to take one more shot at securing it and if it still leaks-probably go to an Airwolf.

Hi Ed,

I found the upper intake mount bracket broken on my plane. Caused some vibration. Fixed it but now we chase other problems, like a leaking F&M adapter and a leaking valve cover.

Keep the spirit up.

HI from Germany, I have the same problem. No significant leakage but still a mess after flight.
We will try again and report.

Joseph-exactly what happened to me. Should have left it alone as it was not leaking before we replaced the 2 gaskets.

I am going to try one more time and see what happens. And on to AW most likely if it leaks.

I have a SideWinder and it has worked well. I think a golf cart with appropriate hardware is the ticket.

Thanks for sending the SB Dean. We had seen it before and reinstalled per the instructions. I need to make sure we are using the correct crush washers though. And we had torqued to 65 ft lbs as well. Will try again!

Thank you Ashley. Is it mounted on the firewall?

Hello Ed. My plane came with an Air Wolf Oil Filter Adapter when I bought her. 7 years of trouble free / Leak free service. I later purchased an Air Wolf AOS and the folks there were very helpful.

Greetings Scott. I would suggest an email to our own 200 parts guru Mr. Dave Smith at davesf17@yahoo.com.

Paul-Harold has the solution!

I have -5- SMS-1 hydraulic reservoir fill plug/dip sticks left. 4 anodized black and 1 anodized blue. Comes with instructions and previous approved FAA form 337. Price is $40 each plus shipping from zip 72120. Thanks, Harold

Thanks Dan

Harold Settle did have those.

Paul, one of our members has been selling a replacement that is more secure and easier to read. Let me see if I can find the paperwork.

Stephen-Great to hear of your interest. Reach out to Dean Siracusa. He is the go-to and will know what planes might be available. Our owners are getting older and finding one off market may be the ticket.
