  1. I made the drive down to my hangar today. With Jacques picture in my mind, I opened the cowl to find the capacitor right where it was supposed to be. To paraphrase an old friend from high school...there are no so blind as those who don't know what they are looking for... Thanks, --Mark
  2. Jacques, thanks for the picture! I will recheck the square engine mount bar...but the only thing that I remember attached to that square bar was the BRS bridle. Maybe it was hiding under the air duct to the right carb. I don't see the plastic item that I was referring to in this picture. The plastic item that I saw is sort of "suspended" in front of the silver piece with the cooling fins (black electrical connector on its rights side) and above the negative terminal for the battery. I say "suspended" because the electrical wires to it seem to be its only attachments. I asked because I am having some intermittent electrical issues. Last time I was at my hangar, I tightened the bolts through the firewall to the rectangular silver piece and the round brass piece. Unfortunately, the weather that day did not allow for a few trips around the pattern. Thanks again guys... --Mark
  3. Hi Roger, Based on your original post, that is the area where I was looking. Having read some of the later posts, I am surprised that I missed something 30 mm in diameter. I asked about what the capacitor rests in because there is a black plastic piece mounted near the "Ducatti" box above my battery that is about 1-2 inches square with a bunch of what look like electrical pin connection holes on the top. But, there are no wires in any of the connection holes. There are wires running into the bottom of the piece. Also, the bottom of the black plastic piece looks like it should surround round (not square) tube. But, it is not attached to a tube which seemed strange. My plane is a very early 2005 unit. There is another CTSW nearby that is also an early 2005. The other owner and myself have noticed a number of minor differences between our planes even though they only differ by three in serial number. So, I wouldn't be surprised if what I am looking for is not exactly where it is found on most later CTSW /CTLS models. Also, my plane was used by flight school before I bought it. So, there was plenty of opportunity for the capacitor to "disappear". Again, my apology for not thinking of taking a picture when I had the cowl off. Thanks again for the help! --Mark
  4. Could someone please describe the piece where this capacitor sits? I have a 2005 CTSW. And now that I read the physical size of the capacitor, I don't know how I could have missed seeing it when I looked the other day. I think that know where one might have fallen out of though. Sorry for not providing a picture, but my plane is hangared 50 minutes driving time from home. Thanks to Roger and everyone else for making this site such an asset to the CT community! --Mark
