I've got a couple issues with the Beaver/R985 I'm flying right now.
1) Every once in a while the generator won't charge the battery. I haven't seen it quit during flight, it just won't commence charging from start on a given flight. Cycling everything doesn't fix it. I will leave it overnight and the next day it will function normally and carry on for an other 20 legs or so.
2) Sometimes after a hot start there will be no fuel pressure at taxi RPM. Only after start though, never at taxi RPM after landing.
