You can't move the prop on a Mooney. I know that any of the O-320 and O-360
series engines the props can only go 2 ways. The prop is pined. The reason is
the prop is set up for compression stroke on #1 cylinder. Every High horse
powered engine I have owned the prop will only go 2 ways.

My prop is at 3 and 9 on the Lancair which makes it a little harder to hand
prop. I talked to a guy at Hartzell who said that props were put at 2 an 8
back when most planes didn't have electric starters so they would be easier to
start. I also talked with an RV owner who also said he did the same as me. I
also did my KR but didn't see much difference. The VW is a very smooth engine
anyway. I left the Mooney at the factory setting which, is not a good location
for a smooth engine.

I meant to ask how that lined up the prop for hand propping. Did it
put a blade in the 10 o'clock or 2 o'clock position to pull down?
