    Hi Bob- I was wondering if you'd had time to tinker with the wall wart charger I sent a while back-

    on Z-16) In the lower right hand corner of the drawing is a 22,000 microfarad capacitor that is connected between ground and the contactors. I do not think that capacitor is needed. It does not hurt anything, but is one more thing that could fail. The Rotax 912 installation manual recommends having a capacitor in parallel with the fuel pump. Electrically I guess it is in parallel... Does it make any difference whether I leave it as it is or should I connect it like this:

    Sacha, Without a winmail program, I was unable to open the winmail.dat file. To reduce electrical noise from the fuel pump, the capacitor should be located at the fuel pump and connected to the positive and negative wires of the fuel pump. I assume that is what you have done in the winmail.dat file. In your original drawing, yes, the capacitor is in parallel with the fuel pump in a roundabout way. But when trying to suppress electrical noise, it is better to keep wires short. Joe -------- Joe Gores Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=414638#414638

    Carlos, Check these guys out. This page shows where to buy the switches and they'll engrave them for you. http://www.engravers.net/aircraft/rocker_switches.htm Lots of folks in the Glasair crowd have used them.

    I've seen it on the bench several times and noted that it's on the list of things to do. I did get my shop utility computer back up and updated . . . but my po' ol' bench battery of some 8-10 years finally tossed in the towel. Puffed up like a toad and died. I'm going to scrounge another bench battery here shortly. Bob . . . Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=414662#414662

I assume that is what you have done in the winmail.dat file. Joe Gores Yes it is. But I thought that the capacitor in parallel with the fuel pump was to facilitate the starting of the pump not to reduce noise. Sacha
