    I'm too far North to be your "guinea pig" Nev, but I'm ready like a coiled spring to buy one off you as soon as the design and fitting tests are finalised. Please someone volunteer soon to get this sorted, before my old filler hose finally fails. Jonathan Milbank. Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=378176#378176

    I am in Milton Keynes and am just in process of sorting my fuel smell. I have changed the clips and re-routed the sight gauge so it would be a great time for me. -------- Graeme Bird G-UMPY Mono Classic/XS FWFD 912ULS/Warp drive FP Newby: 35 hours g(at)gdbmk.co.uk Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=378208#378208

    Hi Bob, Remi and All. I have installed the new mag coil today, and it running smoothly now. >From the engine log i noticed a new coil was fitted in 2009 did not say which one was replaced, The engine is running smoothly now, but never having a comparison or owned a rotax before i don,t know what to expect. At 4000 RPMs each mag drops at least 300 rpm , but both now are smooth and have same drop, It is very difficult to get an accurate reading from the Flydat as its digital and not steady. But i would say the engine sounds much better now. The 6 Little warning lights, Now 5 of them OK. But the Red ????? Alternator? Battery ? Light, Function of, Master switch on, Alternator on, the red light comes ON, I would expect this as its not charging, Start engine it goes OUT, sound good to me. Volt meter showing now 13 volts , all OK. Now if i turn the Alternator OFF. The little red light remains OFF ??? No power from the Alternator so it not warning me of Alternator failure . The volt meter drops to 12 volts as expected. So what is this little red light, Low Volts, or Alternator or Battery Regards Alan Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=378239#378239

    Alan, The list-server rejected my last answer because I used a TIFF image which isn't supported. So here's the answer with a JPG which is supported. Blue skies & tailwinds, Bob Borger Europa XS Tri, Rotax 914, Airmaster C/S Prop. Little Toot Sport Biplane, Lycoming Thunderbolt AEIO-320 EXP 3705 Lynchburg Dr. Corinth, TX 76208-5331 Cel: 817-992-1117 rlborger@mac.com Begin forwarded message: From: Robert Borger <rlborger@mac.com> Subject: Re: Europa-List: Re: The Standard Warning Light Alan, I'd say you are making excellent headway with your Europa. 300 RPM ignition drop is fine as long as the difference is less than 115 RPM. My 914 always does 200 RPM drop on the upper plugs and 275 on the lower. So yours is great as far as I'm concerned. That last red warning light is a confuser but I'm willing to bet it's supposed to be the red voltage charge indicating light connected to the voltage regulator. It is the circle with the X in the center that's labeled Item #3 in the picture. I don't know why it would go off when the alternator is shut off, but if the alternator switch is wired on the wrong side that could do it. Remember, this is just a guess without having ever looked at your aircraft or wiring. Blue skies & tailwinds, Bob Borger Europa XS Tri, Rotax 914, Airmaster C/S Prop.
