    Hi Bud, Can you use the monitoring program while in flight or record some data for evaluation? MP is the same as air box pressure less the drop across the carb, so if air box pressure isn't rising, it's likely a guage problem. I've also found the guys at Rotax in Vancouver very knowledgable and helpful with 914 questions. Jim Butcher Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=315538#315538

    Subject: Re: Rotax 914 manifold pressure increase questions for
    the exper Jim, Yes, it can be used in flight. True about the MP vs. Airbox, that's why I think I may need to fly down to Lockwood. I was hoping I had a leak in the carbs or MP gauge something akin to that but it doesn't seem to have a leakage anywhere, and besides that would drive the MP down not up with altitude... What I am seeing Jim is a steady rise in MP with altitude increase with a fixed throttle. That is weird as the manuals don't seem to indicate that should happen except for the high airbox temp cutback.

    Subject: Singleton firewall
    From: "Bill &amp; Sue" <Billandsue@billbell.co.uk>
    Does anyone have any information or advice on fitting the Singleton firewall mod? I do have a sheet of paper which I think I recall was from Graham but looking for any further information has drawn a blank and the information has disappeared from the LAA site as far as I can see. There looks to be quite a bit of 'adjustment' to make it fit satisfactorily... In particular a photo or two may help me avoid filing something off I shouldn't! Thanks!

    Fred, I checked with them and yes they o have a rotax muffler spring but it's only 2.24 inches which seems to be quit a bit too short for our setup. Thanks, Jeff R.

    Has anyone come across this ignition problem before ? : In my usual runup I noticed that the engine is vibrating like mad on one (L ) magneto and there seemed to be some backfiring going on. The engine runs fine on R and on BOTH. For example at 2450 on BOTH=2C I get 2370 for R and 2150 on L. What am I looking for ? Karl
