    Update: some tweaking of the idle mixture and the engine runs fine. Take off fuel flow ist 28,3 gal/h resulting in good temperatures and performance „as expected“ by us. Annual done and the weather is also improving.

    Keep on flying them birds!

    Update: had another cylinder overhauled and all rotocaps replaced. On Runup the fuelflow was well below spec. Had the fuel control unit overhauled here in Germany. Came back with factory settings. On run-up engine stalls below 1500 rpm. Need to setup the FCU according to SB. Did anybody venture this way before and has some knowledge to share?

    Hello Thomas,

    Jamon Pruitt just had his overhauled and might be a good resource for how that went.

    We adjusted low Pitch stop to maximum but no RPM rise. The linkage itself is quite simple to a adjust, but that is not the problem. I will measure the low pitch angle to check for a wear of the propeller. Last overhaul was 2009 and last maintenance was 2020, lubricaction of the hub.

    A month before my Mitchell tach showed a malfunction, an…[Read more]

    Howdy from Germany,
    the last annual reveiled a bad looking exhaust valve on No.3 and the guide had some blowby. Reason was a malfunctioning rotator.
    My engine is am Continental remanufacture from 1993 with about 550 hours on it.
    There seems to be a problem with this rotators and I suggest that you have a good look at yours valves, especcially if…[Read more]

    Hi Ed, do you see the hole in my foot? I almost shot me one…
    No STC for our airplanes and no EASA Approval either. I will have to have him overhauled.

    Thanks for pointing my nose to this minor bureaucratic problem…

    Thomas.

    Hi fellow Meyers owners,

    My propeller governor is defect. I just get 2550 rpm on static or dynamic take off.

    All the other performance data are okay.

    I found as an alternative to overhauling the governor is to put a new PCU5000 on the engine.

    Any recommendations from y’all?

    Thanks and a have great day,

    Thomas
