This chapter describes the engine installed in the EXTRA
330LX aircraft, together with its fitted assemblies. Opera-
tion and maintenance work of the engine requires consulta-
tion of the Lycoming Operator`s Manual (refer to chapter 1).
Proper control, operation and troubleshooting of the engine
is also described there.
Troubleshooting
1 Start by discussing the problem with the pilot and the facil-
ity management people to assist you in narrowing down the
causes.
2 Review maintenance logs and use appropriate diagnostic
tools to eliminate simple and inexpensive solutions before
proceeding to more complicated and expensive remedies.
Often a quick visual inspection of the engine will provide
evidence of obvious problems, such as intake and exhaust
leaks, physical damage to ignition harness, blocked breath-
ers, gas and oil stains, etc.
3 Consult the following Troubleshooting Chart as a diagnos-
tic guide to the most common and recurring problems,
causes, and solutions. The chart provides this information
in a nonspecific format. Proceed from the simplest pos-
sible cause to the most complex.
