| Subject: | Re: batch of classic fuel filler pipes being made |
Hi, I would like one too.
I assume this is for the vertical pipe to the filler just ahead of the vents on
top, rather than the XS-to-Classic retrofit arrangement, where the filler is
on the side of the aircraft.
Can pay from UK account, and delivery to UK address.
Thanks!
Best

Hi Neville.
Yes please, book one in for me. The kit sounds great just let me know how m
uch and when.
I like the idea of getting rid of the smell of seeping fuel.
Is there a recommendation/current wisdom out there on the type of hose to u
se for the rest of the fuel system as mine is coming up for first replaceme
nt?
Let me know
Justin

Frans,
I had the same problem, albeit it occurred no matter if the engine was shut off
for 15 minutes or an hour.
When my carburettors were rebuild last winter by Bert Spreuwenberg, it turned out
that the seals were due (the engine was built in 1999). Though unexpected for
me that solved the problem completely. I only open the throttle an inch or
so for warm start and it fires and runs immediately. I hope it remains that way
in summer when temperatures rise further.
I also found out, that I don't need choke even after hours parking and even at
cold temperatures only for a few seconds.
Maybe I'm just only lucky but I wish you the same.

| Subject: | Air box question classic installation. |
Hello,
the air box on my classic has been modified by the builders to have the option
for carb heating.
So it became bigger and heavier.
Unfortunately it never worked.
I want to undo the modification and have a question about the original design.
In my modified air box is a support laminated in, which is connected to the engine
mount.
Is that necessary? Is there a support at all in the factory deign or do only the
carbs carry the air box as I am expecting?
Thank you
Juergen

Hi Juergen,
The airbox would have / should have been supported by an Alloy strut [ 25mm
x 3mm ] bolted through the rear face of the airbox, to a rubber cushione
d P clip on the Engine frame.
Mounting on the carbs only is not enough.
Cheers,
Nev.

On my classic the airbox has two knobs on the bottom that rest on the engine
mounts. Blobs of silicone sealant have been put on the engine mounts to
make a soft seat for the knobs. I have a warm air device which is two flaps
at right angles to each other which alternatively close off the NACA duct or
close off a hole of similar size in the front of the moulding on the cowling
that seals off the airbox. The default position is cold air and to get warm
air you rotate the two flaps against a spring with a car choke cable to
allow warm air off the top of the engine to enter the moulding above the
airbox and simultaneously close off the NACA duct. Works beautifully.

I have been putting off bonding the tufnol eur08 onto the bell cranks cs15,

Have to take the plane outside to rig the wings, I was just wondering if
there are any traps

Hi Frank and Nev,
thank you for the reply.
I now have mounted the the water heated carb flange.
That puts the carbs nearer to the firewall and the laminated extra air paper filter
on the back of the air box dos not fit anymore.
I now will reinstall the support because the air box is rather heavy but I think
that this is no intelligent design, generating more vibration on the carbs and
causing them to wear earlier.
The original air box by Rotax is a very light alloy tube.
