Clock

Well, this was a cheap way to fly more nm per clock hour!

Actually his fuel consumption would increase over time, but he would fly
more miles per given hour...

I wrote last week about adjusting a Mid Continent clock that was running
slow. The factory said it could not be adjusted.
As it turned out, on my Cessna 172, it was not the clock at fault afterall,
but a corroded fuse holder mounted on the firewall in the engine
compartment. Only 2.5 volts were getting to the clock and the circuit had
6000 olms resistance showing on it. Other times, no voltage would get to the
clock and yet the fuse was not blown. After cleaning the fuse holder, 12.5
volts were detected in the circuit, and the clock runs perfectly now.

With so many of us using 30 year old wiring, it's a wonder there aren't
more problems like this.
