I had to replace my dead HD starter motor years ago on my XS and I confirm you can do it quite easily. There is no interference with the ring mount, water pump or foot well.

As I recall, the altimeter was not very stable. Best way to calibrate is to replace the EFIS with any current EFIS offering!

According to the forum, the cutoff date for the old non-fluorinated tank seems to have been sometime around or before 2000, but it is hard to tell for sure. Greg _____ Greg, Thanks for the info. What you say makes sense and I appreciate you taking the time to help me out. I put 60 ltrs in the tank today and shall leave things alone for a while to see if we get any improvement. I will report results .

Are you asking how to set the barometric pressure, or are you implying that once set, the altitude display is wrong? I have a Gen4 now, and before that a Gen2 "gold box" Never had an issue with the Altimeter. Never heard that anyone had "stability" problems. -------- Ira N224XS Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=440269#440269 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 09:19:33 AM PST US From: davidjoyce@doctors.org.uk Subject: Re: Europa-List: Re: Blue Mountain EFIS Ira, The EFIS has always worked superbly (& I am loath to change it,) but the altimeter has always been about 100ft out and as my steam age back up altimeter has just given up the ghost I would like to adjust the Blue Mountain one. The manual says ring the factory. Clearly I can open the altimeter tab and apply common sense, but that is not always the complete solution and I do not want to make it worse if you or anyone knows what the factory would have said!

I'd be surprised if you couldn't open them out.
