Default Understanding fuel servo maintenance

10 hours? And you said OK to that? I was hoping you were a little
smarter than that ;-)

We had our servo replaced at annual and were charged 2 hours for the
R&R. Did you look at what's involved it the R&R? Not much. And yes the
servos are adjustable. Matter of fact one of the ways you can tell it is
time for a new one is when the adjutsment screw is turned all the way
out and no more adjustment is left.

The servos are good for about 1000 hours before they need rebuilt so if
yours has around that many hours than you probably just wasted your
money trying to nickel and dime the situation instead of just rebuilding
yours.

As far as "needing" to know the root cause of everything, does it really
matter? Do you need to know why you have a headache before taking some
asprin? :-)

Also, each R&R is
costing me about 10 hours of A&P time.
