    Hi Paul, Measurements I made years ago showed that the heavy duty starter motor cranks the engine 30 to 40 percent faster everything else being equal (same engine, same battery, same temperature), so obviously it does reduce the chances of kicking back. I had to replace my dead HD starter motor years ago on my XS and I confirm you can do it quite easily. There is no interference with the ring mount, water pump or foot well.

    David, Here is a paragraph from an old EFIS 1 install manual. As I recall, the altimeter was not very stable. Best way to calibrate is to replace the EFIS with any current EFIS offering!

    Subject: Fuel Tank moved!!
    According to the forum, the cutoff date for the old non-fluorinated tank seems to have been sometime around or before 2000, but it is hard to tell for sure. Greg _____ Greg, Thanks for the info. What you say makes sense and I appreciate you taking the time to help me out. I put 60 ltrs in the tank today and shall leave things alone for a while to see if we get any improvement. I will report results . Mike (my tank was supplied in Jul. 99)

    David, Please tell us which BMA device you are using, and specifically what the problem is. Are you asking how to set the barometric pressure, or are you implying that once set, the altitude display is wrong? I have a Gen4 now, and before that a Gen2 "gold box" Never had an issue with the Altimeter. Never heard that anyone had "stability" problems. -------- Ira N224XS Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=440269#440269

    Ira, The EFIS has always worked superbly (& I am loath to change it,) but the altimeter has always been about 100ft out and as my steam age back up altimeter has just given up the ghost I would like to adjust the Blue Mountain one. The manual says ring the factory. Clearly I can open the altimeter tab and apply common sense, but that is not always the complete solution and I do not want to make it worse if you or anyone knows what the factory would have said!

    Hi David, I believe this is the document you are searching for! I am in contact with Greg from time to time, but his new ventures are keeping him quite busy and it is very difficult for him to support ten year products. -------- Ira N224XS Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=440278#440278 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/altcalg4_911.pdf

    Subject: Ring mount to subframe question
    From: William Daniell <wdaniell.longport@gmail.com>
    I am mounting the rotax ring mount to the engine mounting frame using the M10x110 hex head bolts. The issue is that the M10 bolts have quite a lot of slop in the rotax ring mount, my guess is that the rotax ring mount holes are about 1/2 to 1 mm larger than the bolts. Is this normal? The bolts fit perfectly in the Europa engine mounting frame. thanks Will William Daniell LONGPORT +57 310 295 0744

    Yup....the rotax ring mount has an 11mm hole and the engine mounting frame is 10mm. Can anyone help?

    Gidday Will, Have you inserted the short steel reinforcements in the fuselage engine fram e, because if you have the wall thickness has now increased dramatically, an d the attachment forces now are also shared by the bolts holding them in sit u, as I vaguely recall. I'd be surprised if you couldn't open them out.
