As far as the 496 is concerned, internal problem -Garmin thinks they put the wrong screen in it, and when I get it back thi s time they feel all of my problems should be solved. Regarding the electric fuel pump - Now that the aircraft has a total of 11 4 hours on it, I am pretty used to the engine start procedure and noticed that their seems to be a change. After turning the fuel pump on and open ing the drain at the firewall, fuel flowed out and then the engine started easily. My best guess was there must have been air in the line and the electric fu el pump was having problems overcoming it, because when the pump is frst turned on before the engine is started, it has never pumped up and stoppe d. Maybe my best solution is to replace the electric pump as I don't know just how long they are suppose to last. The most difficult part is gettin g to the two nuts on the back side of the firewall to remove the pump. Linda Have you completed the installation of your new wheel pants ? It may all be in my mind, but I still think my airplane flies smoother wit h these new wheel pants. Thanks again, Jim Goad ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message lightning-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Lightning-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/lightning-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/lightning-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
