| Subject: | Re: Europa-List Digest: classic firewall |
I had bad cooling problems on my 80hp Classic until I removed the second muffler
and replaced it with a straight pipe.
Now, while it makes more noise, I can climb forever at 85kt in the Florida summer:
30C @1000ft on a relatively cool morning.
That chamber of the muffler blocks a lot of air.

For the classic owners out there,
With my engine out, but the mount frame still on the engine, is it possible t
o remove the starter to give it a service/inspection (while the engine is ou
t)? Or must the engine frame be removed?
Many thanks!
Pete

Hi Pete,
I recall you do to allow enough room for the starter spline to withdraw. Also to
get at the top bolt. Have a go first, nothing ventured nothing gained. I have
had to replace my starter with the Rotax HD starter as I have the Rotax 912
100hp ULS. Starter too small to start engine during Winter. Had to make a slight
alteration to engine frame to accommodate the longer new starter.
Cheers,
Tim
