Electrical Failure on Take Off

[skymaster]

my 73p has ei volt/amp gauge. my dis remains on but amps chk ok. now i will chk the lights closer. its in annual. During the annual i had mechanic chk ohms on landing gear switch. and found it dropping out/intermittent. we will replace. occasional delay going up. i never hear electric gear motor and do not want to burn one up.

If you have a DIS light on, even when you have both alternators on line, you have a Sensor u/s, or you do have low volts?

not a volt or amp low . according to the digital gauge. the dis lite stays on but system is a ok. just a glitch. next couple week it will be in the hands of a new owner. It will be in the best condition known to 337's. this 73p has given me great pleasure and I want to hand it off in better shape than i found it, I traded it for a cheyenne 1 fuel hog.every time i fill the cheyenne i miss the recip. Should i sell the pa31t i would go back into the p337. J

I went back up to hanger on Saturday and pulled cowling. I removed battery cables and cleaned and also checked the battery. It looks like I have one cell that is weak. Battery is a little over 2 years old. I did notice it did not turn engines over that fast. I ordered a new battery. I hope that is my problem. I also checked all the diodes on firewall. They checked ok with ohm meter. Dale

Interesting! I learned a long time ago (40+ years) the first thing you do when transient electrical problems show up is to buy a new battery. It's the cheapest way to diagnose and fix funny electrical problems. (Of course, you may just be able to borrow a good battery first.)

It will be 53 years since I soloed... Electrical glitches, gremlins what ever.. sometimes they go away on there own and sometimes they don't.. Good luck Dale... guy

And lucky I guess, 30 years operating turbines.... no hot starts.

Damn . . . . I'm young!!!

I guess some of us solo at a VERY YOUNG age, and then there are those of us who soloed late in life.

C'mon Larry. Don't spoil it for me. Let me believe I'm young.

Keven ,
You are probably a lot younger than Guy or myself, but Guy and I had more years of fun flying the skies, right Guy. Buy the way I replaced my battery and it did not fix my Dis light problem. It must be the sensor. Where is that sensor, I hope not on that circuit board in the center console I just replaced 2 years ago. Dale

Keven, you are young. In fact, you are just a baby, a kid, a youngster, a yout.

Shew . . . . Much better. And by the way, I typically wear a velvet tux in court exactly like the one he wore in the movie.
