Subject: [LML] Re: Pressurization
problem
I don't know if it's possible, but could the
pressurization adjustment knob been forced into a complete
revolution? I'll bet that would confuse the system into
thinking it was on or under the ground at all times.
Just a thought.

Cabin won’t pressurize. Visitor shopping
for a 4P was sitting in cabin with a battery charger on the battery supposedly
studying the cheltons but I suspect he was pushing every button and switch he
could. Now pressure valve won’t close. I can hear the dump
switch and gear handle switch both clicking in the valve but it doesn’t
move up or down. Removed the valve and checked for travel. I can
manually close it on the bench but it immediately opens again. With
pressurized air flowing in (vacume cleaner hooked up in reverse) I can depress
the valve with my fingers and almost get it to seal but it immediately
opens. Is there another safety switch in the pitot system
somewhere? Any idea where?
I’d appreciate any advice.
