Peter what was repaired the second time?

At 1,050 hours my left engine needed the starter replaced. It was not an in-flight failure, obviously. It was $1,200 parts and labor.

I will be very intrigued to hear your progress. I would love to replace mine.

Cary, Do you know Paul Walton, sometimes out of KEYE? You are correct, it was not. Although my FIRST ECU failure was a cam sensor failure that showed up (obviously erroneously) at cruise over KPRB at 9,500 totally static throttle etc. Sorry for the reporting delay. I am in Manhattan now, having trav...

Okay. Well, I will be making a short 40 minute hop to the maintenance facility, but it will be after an extended runup. I'll be focused for the takeoff and if I lose the engine on the way there I will continue... just slower. Seattle seems to be peppered with airports, so there are a lot of places t...

update: Found Shawn Quinn at Clay Lacy. He's been a Theilert tech for a while and I got his name from Galvin. He'll look at it on Monday morning. (I guess that sets my schedule for crossing the country...)
