Considering I just changed the oil, and there was no metal in the filter, I don't find it very hard to believe. Also, it was one of the cheapest repairs I've seen in a while. And now it starts, no problem. So it sounds like that was the problem to me. The (reputable)mechanic also said he had...

on the invoice, the P/N for the "slinger" is 10-51678. It didn't fail the mag, just somehow caused the impulse coupling not to work. once running, it would run fine, just wouldn't start.

Turns out the oil slinger came loose, and was coming in contact with the Impulse coupling. Has anyone ever heard of something like this happening before?

That's what I've been hearing all this time, and have been avoiding doing it like the plague

Now that I think about it, I did get my Impulse coupling re-assembled 20-25 hours ago. But I didn't have any trouble starting it in the past 20-25 hours.

Checked the logbooks, and it did include a check on the E-Gap, and the Condenser checked out great, as well. I am having it troubleshooted again tomorrow. Last mag inspections were done about 9 months ago, and have between 100-150 hours on them. "She" is my mechanic. Probably the only female...

I've done the whole "Mixture lean, throttle full" thing, but it doesn't seem to be working. other than that, I have no idea.

There didn't seem to be anything on the inside of the cowl, just a drop or two on the wheel pant (maybe I just overlooked the inside of the cowling, but I don't remember seeing anything). Older Cherokees only get primed on 2 cylinders, so it's naturally always cold blooded. It's always started...

Hello all, I'm back with the Cherokee 180, and it doesn't seem to want to start. It turns over just fine, but it doesn't seem to want to ignite. The impulse coupling seems to be doing it's job just fine (according to 3 mechanics), and the Magnetos have about 150 hours since their last...

Turns out it was the Alternator field wire. Came loose while running up the engine, and would sporatically charge. System is charging great now. I'm just wondering if the "squelchy" sounding problem was related to it, as I haven't found time to fly it since I got it fixed.

Alternator has 0.2 hours SOH ... I'm pretty sure it's not that, but I could be wrong

I know the battery itself isn't fully charged... and it only charges for a few seconds after start, if at all. As for the radio, any ideas what might be going on there? I'm just a little concerned that the problem only started occuring when the charging system seemed to be acting strange.

I've got a Piper Cherokee, and for some reason, the electrical system is not charging correctly. I've replaced the battery and the alternator, but it will only charge (at a high rate) just after it is started, then the ammeter goes to "0", even when I have a load placed on it (i.e., all lights...

In 4 to 5 months, I will be looking at building a little multi time. Does anyone know of anyplace/anyone in Arizona that has affordable rates in a multi-engine aircraft? I'll also be looking at getting my multi commercial, and my multi instrument in the airplane. I already have my...

Just looking for a cheap GPS installation... and as it's a slide in replacement, installation costs would be next to zero. but just looking at my options.

I'm looking at installing a GX-55 for IFR use in my panel (slide in for my LORAN). What kind of certification needs to be done to it to make it IFR certified, and what must be installed and connected to the GPS to make it certified?

Called Tookie yesterday... turns out he had a radio shop a little while back, but he doesn't install anymore. The search goes on.

AZ Aircraftsmen does an excellent job... but they only do "owner supplied" installations when business is slow. And they're booked for a while, last time I checked in

Do you know the airport they're based at, or FBO name?

I'm looking for someone certified in Arizona to install some basic avionics. Nothing too complicated, and may be willing to travel to nearby states. PM me to discuss details.
