Randy,

I found someone through = ebay that does repairs on the VM1000.

He seems to be a decent = guy although I do not have any experience yet with his quality or = pricing. He is currently working on my data processing unit for the = VM1000.

His name is Reggie, = email: mooney37v@juno.com

I have been = seeing indicated fuel pressures (9 - 13 PSI) on my VM1000 that are too = low for the fuel servo (requires around 20 PSI) to operate at - but it = continues to operate.

So after = checking and modifying the fuel lines (changed from series to parallel = for the boost and mechanical pump), removing the mechanical fuel pump = and having it checked out at the manufacturer, we decided to just = replace the fuel pressure sensor - figuring it would be under $100 to = replace.

I called JP Instruments and got a quote of $650. = Holy crap.

The technician told me I could field-test the sensor = and that it has an output of 1mv per PSI input. ie 5 mv for 5 PSI, = 10 mv for 10 PSI, 50 mv for 50 PSI etc..

Does anyone = out there want to sell a working-but-not-using VM1000 fuel pressure = sensor (the higher pressure one) for fuel injected = engines?

Does a guy have any options or FP sensors other than = VM1000 brand that put out that kind of output?
