Which Meyers 200 is this?

If this is a new issue, then yes, it might be a clogged injector. It is summer now so outside temperature does affect things like this too.

If any work was done on the engine (or an annual was just completed) you might also check the baffling. Even if none was replaced, sometimes they get moved backwords or torn. Silicon baffling should bend…[Read more]

Very sorry to hear about that.

There are tons of things I’ve learned over the years, from the late Keith Diver and other owners, that aren’t actually in the manual, or the maintenance manual. Not operating on flat struts is one of those items.

On long cross countries switching service areas ATC does morph me into a Mooney as per Ed on occasion. I do take exception with THAT as well, but just motor on along and respond back with…[Read more]

Stein Air is installing Garmin GFC500s into Meyers 200s. Details on the other post.

Hello Chuck. The 145 is such a cool airplane. You need to send a note to Jamon Pruitt that is a member on the site. Jamon has a bunch of planes including a 145 and a 200.
