Mechanic is coming on Saturday to figure out why the right boot isn't sucking down fully. He's bringing an extra manifold but I'm hoping it's something as simple as it's sticking and can be lubed. I have a used part for $900 if that's the worst case scenario. I have a stack of Medeco locks so he'll probably replace the rest of the cabinet door locks on the various hatches with the Medecos. MT, I’m so jealous. I long for the day I head out the door and holler to the wife, “honey, I’m headed to airport to work on the jet.”
