Engine Inspection and Service 6-4.7.1. Fuel Injection System Specifications NOTE: Engines may not reach rated full power RPM during ground run- up due to atmospheric, environmental, or configuration limitations. This condition is normal, occurring most often when operating naturally aspirated engines configured with a fixed pitch propeller. A correction factor must be applied to reduce the fuel pressure to the lower maximum RPM observed during fuel system adjustments on the ground.
Engine Inspection and Service 6-4.7.3. Oil Pump Operational Check 1. Perform a Maintenance Preflight Inspection according to Section 6-4.7.2. 2. Perform a normal “Engine Start” according to instructions in Section 7-3.2 and “Ground Run-up” according to Section 7-3.3 to allow the engine to warm to normal operating temperatures.

Engine Inspection and Service 6-4.22. Alternator Inspection Frequency During 500-hour inspection Procedure 1. Remove engine cowling and aircraft components necessary to gain access to the alternator. 2. Remove the alternator according to instructions in Section 10-4.1.1 or Section 10- 4.1.1. Perform the “Alternator Drive Hub Inspection” in Section 6-4.22.1 or Section 6-4.22.2 on all gear driven alternators.

Engine Inspection and Service torque or less. Replace the drive hub if slippage occurs under 100 inch pounds of torque. 4) Install the serviceable drive hub on the alternator according to instructions in Section 10-4.2.3. b. Inspect the multi-part drive coupling: 1) Secure the alternator coupling gear (Figure 6-99) (5) in the jaws of a padded vice, leaving the gear section free.

Troubleshooting 8-4. Charging System Refer to the aircraft and alternator manufacturer’s applicable charging system trouble- shooting instructions. If troubleshooting indicates the alternator is faulty, remove and replace the alternator according to the instructions in Section 10-4. 8-5. Starting System Engine Will Not Start When Ignition Switch Engaged.

Non-Overhaul Repair and Replacement 10-4. Alternator Replacement Replace the alternator when it fails to deliver the correct voltage and amperage to the aircraft electrical system. If electrical malfunctions are isolated to the alternator, physical inspection of the alternator must be accomplished before replacement. The engine may be equipped with a direct drive alternator, a belt-driven alternator, or both.

Non-Overhaul Repair and Replacement 6. Remove and discard the gasket (1); clean any remaining gasket residue from the crankcase flange with lacquer thinner. 7. Place the alternator in a horizontal position, rotate the shaft in both direction. If the shaft does not turn freely, rotor friction or bearing stress is indicated, or noticeable shaft displacement is detected during rotation, replace the alternator.
