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?

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…

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

Does anybody have the correct P/N for the Mitchell RPM tach to replace on a io520 in the M eyers? Mine starts fluttering and I need to order in advance.
My hydraulic pressure instruments shows wrong pressures although it is still sealed. Did anybody have it overhauled in the US? Where would you send it to?Thanks, Thomas

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.

Here in Europe there are a lot of short grass runways.
Getting the Meyers down is easy in my opinion.
Takeoff performance depends on the usual factors: actual mass, wind and temperature. I have a IO 520, so power could be better. To get best climb out you need to fly with Vx over the trees and then accelerate to Vy while cleaning up. I find it…[Read more] -

The issue is rather constant. Injector and line is clear. Baffling is in good condition, but #6 is in a bad spot. Taped the oil fill door. No effect. I will post some pictures.
Did some cross-country (10h in 3 days) in 90° weather because ofhttps://m.facebook.com/groups/stampesv4/
Thanks for the input.

Thomas Kube started the topic High CHT #6 in the forum Engine – Meyers 200 2 years, 3 months ago
Hi fellows,
Summer time has finally arrived and temperatures are increasing. My CHT on #6 is on takeoff getting to 420 degrees F despite going to 120 knots cruise climb. The other CHTs are 30-50 degrees F cooler. EGTS are about the same. Baffling is okay. Any ideas how to get this cylinder cooler?
Thanks,
Thomas..

Happy Eastertime from Germany!
I wonder of we can group up to have SteinAir go for an STC.
If there is an STC, we would have less trouble getting this great AP into our planes. For me in Germany, as an EASA reg, 337s do not work.And going back to N-Reg would terminate the world spanning Meyers distribution.
Let me know your thoughts.
Thomas.
