    Teledyne Continental Motors Piston Engines

    AD/CON/66
    Amdt 2

    Fuel Pump Drive Coupling 10/96

               Applicability: All Teledyne Continental Motors (TCM) piston engines, as listed by model number below, which incorporate a fuel pump as listed by part number (P/N) in TCM Mandatory Service Bulletin Number MSB95-6 or are fitted with a fuel pump, regardless of P/N, which has had a P/N 646176 fuel pump shaft installed.

                 IO-346-A

                 IO-520-B, BA, BB, C, CB, M, MB IO-550-A, B, C, G
                 TSIO-520-B, BB, D, DB, E, EB, J, JB, K, KB, L, LB, N, NB, UB, VB, WB TSIO-550-B
                 TSIOL-550-A, B

               Requirement: To prevent the disengagement of the fuel pump drive coupling which may result in the loss of engine power:

                  1. a. Remove the fuel pump and inspect the fuel pump shaft in accordance with TCM Mandatory Service Bulletin MSB95-6, Figure 1, to determine the part number of the shaft fitted, and

                   1.  b. If a current style P/N 646176 fuel pump shaft is found fitted, ensure only a new style P/N 653359 drive coupling is installed when reassembling the fuel pump to the engine. Fuel pumps incorporating an early style P/N 643689 shaft may continue in service until next engine overhaul with either the old style P/N 631263 or a new style P/N 653359 drive coupling fitted.

2.    Replace the old style fuel pump drive coupling P/N 631263 with a new style drive coupling P/N 653359.

               Note 1: Requirement 2 is only applicable to fuel pumps found, during compliance with Requirement 1, to have the early style P/N 643689 fuel pump shaft incorporated.

               Note 2: FAA Airworthiness Directive 93-16-15 refers.

               Compliance: Requirement 1: Unless previously accomplished in accordance with amendment 1 of this directive; within 30 hours time in service effective on 12 September 1996.

               Requirement 2: At next engine overhaul after 12 September 1996.

 SCHEDULE OF AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

           Background:  This directive was originally issued on 30 May 1993 to require an inspection of the fuel pump drive coupling for correct engagement. Amendment 1 was issued on 29 February 1996 to include IO-346 engines and fuel pumps incorporating a P/N 646176 shaft. This amendment corrects an ambiguity in the applicability of engines fitted with a fuel pump incorporating the P/N 646176 shaft. Teledyne Continental Motors has confirmed, only "Permold" engine models as listed in TCM MSB95-6 are affected, regardless of the fuel pump configuration.

           The original issue of this Airworthiness Directive became effective on 30 May 1993. Amendment 1 of this Airworthiness Directive became effective on 29 February
