Some history:
I have a Falcon MP1035-3 manifold pressure gauge in the Starduster. I was flying and the gauge dropped to "0", not 29.xx, zero. I asked the local AME and he said it probably got a drop of oil in it. I took the line off the back and a drop of gasoline came out. The gauge needle returned to 29" . Thinking back, I had flooded the engine during start up, so that will be the source.
I want to be sure its dried out, I called Falcon and hit a brick wall. "If your not an instrument technition you can't talk to one of ours!" Has anyone removed the back of one of these to look inside?
