Bob,
I am procuring tomorrow the necessary pieces to test with a fusible link, as I have not found what caused the fuse to blow.
It is 10 years old so age could have been a factor ...

I'll make sure the connections are tight. I just has an Odyssey AGM battery

That is what I eventually found. Looks like Home Depot can get within a
day or two.

My RV-10 has a 60 amp ANL fuse installed right below the shunt for the

David is at Falcon Field in Mesa. The nearest to Surprise is Glendale which may or may not have some hangar space. I am at Chandler which has about a 15 yr wait list for city-owned hangar ...

Interesting that only two replied, and stuck with Van's 15x6:00x6. I so
far have also stuck with that, but have thought about changing to
6:00x6. Cost is but one factor.

Since there has not been too much discussion on this list lately, I
bring you a question that has been on my mind from tome to time.

Do you use the main wheel size that Van's recommends or someth ...

To save you a phone call. At 9:45 I was 90+% asleep , so I did not answer your call. You are simply talking about a PMA part vs. a genuine part. To get the PMA the seller has to prove it i ...

agree!

Nah, when you're too feeble to do the Bogert Bar, it's just time to

Those are magnificent!

There are 3 main ones. Grt Dynon (as well as it's subsidiary AFS) and
Garmin. Depends on your budget and mission.

Most carbureted Lycomings have a mechanical diaphragm pump, which is
non-adjustable. With an old mechanical fuel pressure gauge you would
never have noticed the blip in pressure, and it is not sig ...

Sebastian,
The original battery that Vans recommends is a Concorde RG-25AXC, which
weighs about 24 lbs. I have the Odyssey equivalent, a PC925 at about the
same weight. I have an MT 3 bladed prop ...

Besides your cautions the one other is weight and balance. The stock
RV-10 with stock battery location and weight needs ballast in baggage
compartment when flown with 2 upfront and no baggage, as ...

Right. I would expect they probably flow matched the cylinders as well.
I would inspect and clean the #2 injector, then swap it with the #4
injector. That will tell you whether it is the injector ...

I'm sure you are correct on the digit.

I think you may have dropped a zero, e.g., went to 0.0005" smaller (5 ten-thousandths).

I found it useful to swap my richest injectors with the leanest first.
After doing that a couple times, I found my #3&4 were consistently the
richest. So I ordered 2 restrictors from Airflow t ...

It will depend on what part of the country you are in. Given the
climate, all summer fuel in AZ is required to be 7.0 RVP for emissions,
which happens to be the same as avgas. Most areas have summ ...

The stock 200 hp angle valve engine is 8.7 to 1 compression and yes, it
is a 100LL engine, no mogas is good enough. The 200hp engine originally
had 25 BTDC timing (and some still have it) but the ...

Just so those that run 8.5 compression 4 cylinder Lycomings understand,

93 pump octane mogas should be okay in the IO540 if no alcohol, but it
really isn't the same as 91/96 avgas the engine was certified with about
60 years ago. The Swift fuels 94UL avgas should be j ...
