    You will find when it comes to avionics or electrical systems on planes over 90% of problems you will find will be directly attributable to poor grounding The other 10% of the time will be all the other things that can go wrong. So when checking for possible problems, avionic or electrical distribution, first check all the appropriate grounding points are clean and strong. Also check for bad crimps and make sure bundles are properly secured.

After changing out three sending units and having the same thing happen again, I figured that it was impossible for it to be a defective sending unit. Sure enough I concentrated on tidying us the wire connections a bit and it never happened again.

    Hi All, This is not an original idea, but I thought I would share it. I made a couple of these this weekend. It is a spark plug hollowed out with a 1/4" pipe inserted into the end and welded. An "O" ring goes on the plug end. This makes doing the compression test faster and easier. -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az.
