Hello Members,
To begin, I have a 1966 Cherokee 140. I bought the plane to use as a trainer and have been working through various issues for a while now. After two months of work with my A & P (he lets me do most of the work with him at my side) we finally got it back in the air and all systems are perfect, except the new little sensor I installed is telling me I've got carbon monoxide in the cabin! Bummer! Actually, about a month ago on a test run up, my instructor accidentally switched off and on the mags causing a pretty good backfire. I have yet to look, but I think my muffler is cracked. My question:
1) Is there a way to remove the muffler on a 140 without disconnecting all the pipes from the cylinders? I think this is going to be a big can of worms i.e. broken studs etc.
Any other thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks!
