Subject: | Re: How to ground rempte mounted VDO oil pressure gauge. |
Ron,
I mounted my oil pressure sensor on a piece of aluminum angle that was bolted to
the top of the passenger foot well. Ran a 20 ga black wire from one of the
mounting bolts up to the firewall ground block. 20 ga is way overkill, but it's
what I had on hand and the 0.1 oz of extra weight didn't seem like too great
a penalty.

I remote mounted the oil pressure sender on the footwell using SS braid
hose. It is mounted with an adel clamp. I put a brass T before the sender
for a pressure switch for the Hobbs, which has a ground tab connected to the
forest of tabs on the firewall.
If I were to do it again, I would consider the new sender (honeywell I
think) that Rotax uses. I know the 912 needs it to get the 2000hr tbo
blessing. Not remote mounting would eliminate some hose and weight, simpler.

Hi Bob
Thx. for the reply. How is the sender electrically
connected, and how is the sender mechiasnically mounted to your
bracket?
Thx.

Hi Ron,
Here's where the installation of the remote sensor installation is documented:
http://www.europaowners.org/forums/gallery2.php?g2_itemId=67636
and here's where I show the installation of the airbox temperature sensor:

Down toward the bottom of the page.

Hi Bob
"Here's where the installation of the remote sensor

It appears you may have tapped your aluminium bracket and that is how
you are getting electrical ground to the mounting bracket mounting screw?
Did you perhaps put a thin nut between sender and bracket? Perhaps a
spacer that sandwisches the sender and bracket to make the electrical
connection?
Thx.

Hi Ron,
No, did not tap the the aluminum bracket. Just added a couple washers between
the bracket and the female union to hold it all in place when the union was screwed
up tight. No spacer. Just lots of tight mechanical connection to make
the ground through the bracket. It's one thing that has worked properly from
first startup. That is, after I filled the connecting oil line with oil first.
Can't be any entrapped air.

Guys...reached a major milestone w/ the completion of my engine mount
and trial fitting of my engine and cowls. Everything seems to be
true, level, and properly aligned w/ prop flange offset as per manual.
Offset required some tweaking of the footwells; looks like the offset
will also require two small blisters on the top cowl...one for the
front corner of the stbd fuel rail, and one for an offending edge of
the starter motor housing. Cowls are from Alex Bowman's molds who used
them w/ his Honda/CAM 125 engine. I'll be needing a 2.5 to 3 inch prop
hub extension.
Now on to the inlet and exit ducts for the 2 radiators...exhaust
system to follow; if anyone has had experience w/ so called "Swiss
mufflers", I'd love to hear about it.
Engine from RAM Performance w/ MPEFI; dual inlet ports (one per
cylinder) produces 140 hp @ 5500 rpm; Autoflite PSRU means prop
rotation will be counter-clockwise.
Fred

Oh yeah baby - this thing is going to blow some serious holes in the sky!
Just easy on that throttle - 2/3 should be plenty for any normal TO. Then
leaving the throttle at
2/3 should do you an easy 160 mph cruise with that 1.9 ratio and Catto or L
ipps prop!
Ram makes a fine engine. Been 5 yrs now for my 125 hp Ram unit with no iss
ues.
Nice work Fred - can't wait to see the cooling system you come up with!

Subject: | What does Ducati warning light tell you? |
Hi group
I am planning panel at moment for where to position warning and indicator lights
(LEDs).
I can find in many Rotax manuals specifications for Ducati regulator warning light
and how to hook up. After over an hour of searching piles of documentation
I still can't find what the indicator is supposed to do and indicate.
I imagine it will probably glow when voltage falls below some threshold indicating
there is no charging going on, but I am not sure. Is that all it does, or
does it perhaps flash to indicate over voltage? Somehow indicate something else?
Answer appreciated, but answer and pointing me where Ican find that information
specifics gets a double dose of appreciation.
Ron Parigoris
