## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

NARRATIVE: PIC DEPARTED M82 (MAD-CO.EX)25 JAN 94 RY18 VFR, TO FYM FOR PURPOSES OF FLIGHT CHECK OF SYSTEMS AFTER A TWO MONTH PROTRACTED ANNUAL INSPECTION. THE MAJOR CAUSE OF SUCH DELAY WAS REPAIR OF #3 EXHAUST STACK, AND SOLVING OF STARTER DRIVE MISMATCH WITH RING GEAR. THE LATTER WAS DUE TO A STARTER PINION CLUTCH FAILURE IN SAN CARLOS, BRAZIL, WHEN PIC FLEW THERE JUL/AUG '93. NEW STARTER IS A PRESTOLITE, WAS INSTALLED PER ASSURANCES IN PARTS CATALOG THAT IT WAS FOR 1965 M200, ETC. BUT THE TEETH DID NOT QUITE MATCH AS THE ORIGINAL STARTER WAS A DELCO. ANYWAY, A 1964 LYCOMING SERVICE LETTER WAS OBTAINED WHICH DICTATED THE REPLACEMENT OF THE EXISTING RING GEAR SUPPORT ASSY WITH A PROPER NEW ONE. I WAS CONCENTRATING ON USING THE SDF TO MAKE A STRAIGHT APPROACH USING VASI & CORRECTION FOR RIGHT CROSS WIND. THAT I BLEW MY GUMP CHECK. ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^
