I will try if my password still works

Few weeks ago the latch on my rear door started to get stuck and it required few forceful pulling on the door to unjam it. I sprayed inside of the latch mechanism with WD40 and it worked for few few times and then jammed again and this time the door would not open at all despite of mighty...

No I am not based at high elevation And your guess is right. I land with leaned mixture. Now this is for most normal landing days with nice weather and normal length runway etc. If things change like making low IFR or short runway with gusty winds or increased possibility of GA then I follow...

Not only that I even use mixture control to reduce power as I descend and approach for landing. NOT a single drop of precious 100 LL should be wasted and I think my engine likes it a lot.

Good point. But the reason I want to check electric load is because landing gear warning light in my plane goes off every now and then and my mechanic wants to know if the gear motor was running at that time and a spike in ammeter will be helpful to find that out.

The old Piper stock ammeter I have is not giving me correct reading . Most of the time its sleeping even during the night flight when everything is on. Occasionally it wakes and shows different reading with the same load. What options I have ? The plane is PA32 Lance. I have JPI EDM 730...

I think we are reading too much into it. My guess is its unlikely but if ever happens will be low buzzing altitude only and if school happens to be near the airport then planes taking off / landing will be exempted

Any leaning without good engine monitor is a bad idea especially at high power settings and lower DAs. Now as someone said above 7-8000 and less than or = 65% power you can not hurt IO540 .

And sometimes there are worse consequences for doing those things : https://app.ntsb.gov/pdfgenerator/ReportGeneratorFile.ashx?EventID=20101125X11507&AKey=1&RType=Final&IType=FA
