| Subject: | Re: tach generator upkeep |
Epilogue to my tachometer troubles...
After chasing wires and cleaning connections, I finally disassembled &
thoroughly cleaned my hitherto-exposed cannon plug on the Chinese tach
generator in the engine compartment.
Redressing the wire run and c.plug with oil resistant tape, it's run like a
champ for the last 4 flights.
Fwd and aft gauges in perfect synch.
So, I'm calling the system fixed.
Thx for all the inputs-
Justin
