Last week I flew my T206H up to 21,000ft But right after crossing 19,000ft the manifold pressure started to Fluctuate between 24in and 30in every time I pitched the nose up or down. Without even touching the throttle. On lower (normal) altitudes that never happens, Manifold pressure stays...

We already did both, nothing changed [emoji17] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey guys! I own a Cessna 205 with a Continental IO-550 All my cylinders look fine except for #6 which is running cooler EGTs than the rest (1250°F) , and very high CHT (around 400°F) which is 20 degrees above the rest We already checked and swapped probes, baffles, etc What does low EGT and...

Take a look at the alternator pulley guys Is that amount of movement normal? Could that be causing the alternators to vibrate and break? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Actually yes, the first alternator was Hartzell and the one we have right now is Kelly Aerospace. Are they bad? Also, we will have the prop balance, we don’t actually feel the vibration in the cockpit. But just in case Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Literally the 3 screws breaking in half We replaced the first alternator with a new one after the third time it broke (Today its the 4th time the new alternador starts to loosen up on the screws) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good news guys! We found the problem, turn out to be the metal plate that sits in front of the 6th Cylinder to redirect the airflow It was loose, and it was dancing with the wind, making that pulsating noise [emoji1787] But…. The alternators keep breaking in 2 pieces and we cant figure out...

Also guys, you have to consider that I live in Cancun, Mexico at sea level where temperatures are pretty much above 90°F all year round So plenty of fuel flow is well appreciated Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s right, they just cleaned the injectors and now i’m getting 28gph So it might have been that the injectors were clogged up Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What readings are you normally getting for the EGT’s? Just to have some reference Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Also, This is what I’m getting at full power 25.7gph Mechanics say its fine, but i feel like its not enough to keep the temps down On a IO-550 with 300hp Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey guys! I’ve been doing everything to lower my CHT’s on my Continental IO-550 below 400°F Yesterday my mechanic suggested retarding the ignition timing to 20 instead of 22 What do you guys think? Are there any risks? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Because anything higher than that would rocket the temperatures above 400° Also, yesterday the mechanic said we could try Retarding the ignition timing to 20 instead of 22 To get lower CHT’s What do you guys think? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
