I do NOT think that they are solder sleeves. I get the >impression that they are crimp connectors. Nowhere does it mention solder. >Heat is used to shrink the tubing. I've evaluated a few of the offerings for both solder sleeves and shrink-wrapped, butt-splices. The solder sleeves are problematic. Most worked well on clean, new wire in the smaller gages but lacked an active flux for good flow onto vintage strands . . . and a bit short on solder to effect a good joint on larger wires. To date, I've not keep any of the off-brand solder sleeves on the bench. The shrink-wrapped, butt-splices are a different matter. Finding a tool/technique for effecting a crimp is the hard part. My favorite tool for getting a good mechanical connection on the strands puts a rather ugly mash on the shrink jacket . . . but much of the ugliness abates when you shrink the jacket. Splices with the internal melting wall of sealant are particularly effective. I used three or four of these under my truck last week to install new pump/sender assemblies in the saddle tanks. The finished splices looked quite adequate to the task. Play with them a bit until you arrive at your own crimp-n-shrink process. I'll see if I can locate some el-cheapo tools similar to the one I've settled on.

After working with you guys about 10+ years I cam to realize that MOST of what was being practiced in this venue was anything but 'experimental'. Further, the term didn't register well with individuals I was attempting to introduce to the 'personal side' of aviation. I began to test the term back in March of 2001 . . . it's been over 20 years. Haven't had any push back yet so who knows . . . maybe it will stick. In any case, I think it more descriptive of what we do here.

To recap: I have a Rotax 912 turbo with stock ignition. It started with a crackle in the deadset that rose and fell with engine power. This occurred in mid flight after a normal mag check. Prior to this the Dynon Skyview had been without abnormal noise. On landing I found that the switching off the left mag silenced the crackle and switching off the right mag made the engine run rough. Trouble shooting today: The CDIs have two "in" connectors from the pick ups and two "out" connectors to the coils. So I swapped the CDIs. Also I tried to start the engine with only one CDI connected to one "out" connector. Both CDI work with both "in"-connectors but both only work with one "out" connector to the coils. I tried starting the engine with only one CDI. It starts fine when the single CDI is connected to the right coil and when "wrong" coil the engine wont start. This leads me to the conclusion that I have a problem between the CDI and the plugs. In other words I have a problem in the coil system or in the HT/plug area. Agreed? If so, what is my next step? How do I test the coils? Will William Daniell LONGPORT +1 786 878 0246 ________________________________ Message 9 _____________________________________ Time: 04:24:52 PM PST US From: "Robert L.

Yup . . . That goes for virtually every kind of mechanism . . . we've all seen boats, cars, t/c aircraft, ultra- lights, etc. etc. that we'd rather not ride in . . . But yeah, airplanes are especially dicey. Seeds of the 'Connection were sown during my first trip to OSH when I left the B&C booth to visit a customer's Ez out on the flight line. I was going to put a voltmeter on his alternator. The wiring on this thing was really scary/ Lots of zip-cord, wire nuts and black tape . . .
