After installing an overhauled starter adapter and fuel pump in our IO-520A we are getting some brass in the filter. This is after approximately 5 hours of initial ground run setup for the fuel system and initial test flights. None of the metal particles are large, just very fine specks. When I check the sample with a magnet I didn't get hardly anything.
I'm sending the sample out for analysis. My plan is to run it for a few more hours on this new filter and oil and then check the filter again.
Looking for some advice from the Big Bore continental experts.
