Here are a couple of items
hanging around my workshop shelves that I'd like to get rid of:
Fuel pump for Continental
IO-550-N Funny story on this one. The engine for my last
ES, a normally aspirated model, arrived with a -8 fitting on the fuel inlet
side, instead of the -6 fitting it was supposed to have. At first
Continental told me that was impossible, but finally the harrumphed and simply
sent me a whole new fuel pump assembly! Not only that, they never asked
for the original one back. I'm thinking maybe that this (engine-driven)
pump actually belongs on the TSIO-550, but I'm not sure. Anyway, two years
later, it's still here, new in the box, and I have no use for it. There
are part numbers all over it -- I think each piece of the assembly has its own
part number, but there is one that says "634530 Assy", so that's probably the
actual part number for the pump.
Make me an offer! No
reasonable offers refused. Naturally, there is no yellow tag, but the pump
has never been run. I also have several spare gaskets that you need when
you install it. I see rebuilt pumps in TAP for around $300, but I'd take a
fraction of that.
Spinner for 4-blade MT
Prop: The spinner I received with a 4-blade MT prop was off
center. That is, if you painted a dot on the nose, and watched it from in
front while the engine ran, it described about a 1/2" radius (or 1" diameter)
circle, instead of spinning in place. I complained, and MT agreed to send
me a new one. They did not, however, pay for me to fly to a prop shop,
have the prop removed and re-assembled with the replacement spinner (cost about
$350 total). Neither did they volunteer to pay for the freight to return
the defective one to Germany. So, it has sat here for over two years now,
and I'd like to get rid of it. It may be that with a little tinkering, it
can be straightened out -- but maybe not, I don't know.
For this one I'd take 25 bucks
plus the shipping cost. The 25 bucks will just about cover my time to pack
it up and drive 60 miles round trip to drop it off at the nearest UPS
depot. No guarantees. I'd hate to just take it to the
landfill.
