Requirement: To prevent the disengagement of the fuel pump drive coupling which may result in the loss of engine power:
1. a. Remove the fuel pump and inspect the fuel pump shaft in accordance with TCM Mandatory Service Bulletin MSB95-6, Figure 1, to determine the part number of the shaft fitted, and
- b. If a current style P/N 646176 fuel pump shaft is found fitted, ensure only a new style P/N 653359 drive coupling is installed when reassembling the fuel pump to the engine. Fuel pumps incorporating an early style P/N 643689 shaft may continue in service until next engine overhaul with either the old style P/N 631263 or a new style P/N 653359 drive coupling fitted.
2. Replace the old style fuel pump drive coupling P/N 631263 with a new style drive coupling P/N 653359.
Note 1: Requirement 2 is only applicable to fuel pumps found, during compliance with Requirement 1, to have the early style P/N 643689 fuel pump shaft incorporated.
Note 2: FAA Airworthiness Directive 93-16-15 refers.
Compliance: Requirement 1: Unless previously accomplished in accordance with amendment 1 of this directive; within 30 hours time in service effective on 12 September 1996.

SCHEDULE OF AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES
Background: This directive was originally issued on 30 May 1993 to require an inspection of the fuel pump drive coupling for correct engagement. Amendment 1 was issued on 29 February 1996 to include IO-346 engines and fuel pumps incorporating a P/N 646176 shaft. This amendment corrects an ambiguity in the applicability of engines fitted with a fuel pump incorporating the P/N 646176 shaft. Teledyne Continental Motors has confirmed, only "Permold" engine models as listed in TCM MSB95-6 are affected, regardless of the fuel pump configuration.
The original issue of this Airworthiness Directive became effective on 30 May 1993. Amendment 1 of this Airworthiness Directive became effective on 29 February 1996.
