Subject: E-series fuel pumps
Posted: Apr 10 2012 at 18:06

I have recently swapped the thompson pump for the romec 7790. I have a 1948 with the E-185-8 engine with the boost pump. Does anyone know who the boost pump should be set. Is it only for emergency. It doesnt seem possible to have the boost pumped turned down enough to be able to have it and the engine driven pump on at the same time without making fuel pressure go through the roof. Any information on this would be greatly appreciated.

Tom

I would appreciate it if you would send me the performance charts that you sent to Wade as mentioned above. He is moving up to a Baron and in a couple weeks, I will be the proud owner of his A-36. Please sent them in PFD format to greenheadcpa@yahoo.com.

I am looking forward to moving up to a Bonanza after owning and flying a Sierra for the past 7 1/2 years. Thanks for your help.

Subject: GARMIN GTS 800
Posted: Feb 25 2012 at 08:17

I am considering installing the Garmin traffic system in an A36. The range is advertised as 10-12 nautical miles although a reputable avionics shop says it is really 8 miles.
Does anyone have experience with this unit? Does it work as advertised and is the estimated 1 minute of response time (given a closing speed of 400Kn/hr) sufficient?

Here's a place to start.

Service/Shop manual details rigging, don't skip any steps.
Get the ABS gear supplement if you don't have it.
The big question will be the condition of the sector gear in the transmission. ]]> Tue, 14 Feb 2012 10:16:56 +0000 http://forums.bonanza.org/forum_posts.asp?TID=3133&PID=14813#14813 http://forums.bonanza.org/forum_posts.asp?TID=3124&PID=14812#14812 Author: Scott

I think what Joe needs is some front money from those claiming to be interested. I ran into the same problem after stopping manufacture of the oil filter system for the E engine.

A number of people contacted me wanting to "get on the list." I said I would manufacture another 100 if I could get 25 paid orders. Didn't see one dollar out of that. I would have been able to supply the units within 60 days after getting the 25th order. Too late now since I gave up my PMA and will not attempt to get it renewed.

Any how, send Joe some money and I would bet the job gets done.

Posted: Feb 01 2012 at 10:47

I am looking for the wheel half BOLT part number for Cleveland wheels on a V35B. At my next annual I'll change a tire and thought this would be a good time to replace the bolts. I can't seem to find an appropriate reference. Does anyone have a parts breakout for the 7.00 X 6 wheels?

I can ad to this thread - I have a 53 D which did not have the louvered panels. I purchased a parts plane to replace my E225, and the parts plane had the louvered panels.

I thought - I will go ahead and use these since they must be cooler for the engine ( im based in Vegas and it gets very hot here ) after flying the bird for about 30 hours with the louvered panels I went to an ABS inspection. They told me the engine will cool better with the orginal panels. I have an EGT and when I put the originals back on, the temps went down across the board. Go figure....
Now Im selling the louvered cowl panels if anyone needs them ;-)

Subject: E225 engine overhaul or replacement
Posted: Feb 01 2012 at 00:10

I was lucky to find a parts plane that had a low time E225, and a hydrolic prop. I sold the airframe and the prop and kept my 215 prop. It turned out pretty good for me. I was lucky - I found the parts plane on Ebay and the seller owned an FBO that went out of business because they lost the lease. He had the plane because he was going to redo the interior but after they lost the lease he decided to just sell it.

Then I was able to sell my old engine. SO I replaced everything firewall forward, except the prop.
