The crack was where the pipe is welded to the sealing ring which mates with the cylinder head. It had gone all the way round and caused the ring and pipe to separate completely, although you couldn't tell by looking as the pipe was still held in the right position by its attachment to the muffler. Has anyone else seen similar cracks?

We had it re-welded and it seems to be holding. It looked like the original weld was not good to start with, so we expect it to be fine now that it has been properly welded. Regards, Terry Seaver A135 / N135TD XS mono-wheel with 912S (now with a slipper clutch, starts sooooo much better!) -----Original Message----- From: owner-europa-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-europa-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of willie harrison Subject: Europa-List: Cracked weld on exhaust downpipe --> Europa-List message posted by: "willie harrison" --> Dear All I found (actually Tony Kay found - thanks Tony) a serious crack in the front left cylinder exhaust downpipe (Rotax 912S with standard Europa exhaust system).

I have heard someone has done it and I'd like to find out more if anyone knows the owners whereabouts, both physically and electronically. Thanks in anticipation.

Greetings from your Soob mate in Colorado! Still Soobing nicely here but plan on adding MPFI to my EA81. Should bring the power up to about 140 or so. Here is a link to Lynn Ellsners Turbo EJ22 direct drive Europa. I've never talked to him and he might have even sold the plane, I'm not sure. I wish I could find more info about the plane myself.
