I just picked up a 003 with 8 hours on the clock. This thing appears to have been mothballed after testing since the convenience outlets were taped over, fuel tank and filters were bone dry and clean besides some rust from condensation. Once I soaked the pump in acetone and changed all of the filters, There were no fuel filter elements in the cans, I flushed out the system with the pumps running and the return line in a can. Once clear I hooked everything up and fired it up. All seems good except the frequency meter is dead. I find it hard to believe the meter died with 8 hours on it but this set has been sitting at the sellers house for 20 years under cover. The air filter is dated 1988 which is the same years as the inspection on the dataplate and it is perfectly clean. So I am betting this machine was test run and then mothballed and never brought back into service.
So, any ideas on the frequency gauge? I am going to dive into the manuals but I wanted to see if anyone had a simple solution.
