When the shop took off the prop, they could see that the plug in the crankshaft behind the oil transfer tube had come loose and was cocked. They figured out a way to tap or squeeze or whatever it back in. I got a call this evening that the plane was ready to fly the governor works again. I am going to Paducah, Ky Monday morning to pick up my plane.
I was leaving Paducah, KY Sunday when my prop governor (I hope) stopped working. On climb-out at about 95 kts the engine RPM went quite high.
We are going to work in stages to determine the problem. 1) prop governor (McCauley). 2) prop Hub (Aero Composites prop & McCauley hub) 3) crankshaft plug.
Lets hope for the first.
