I heard and experienced the same thing. The advice was not to leave the
injection bottle full.

It is necessary to change the tyres of my kitfox model 4 . But it's
impossible to find in France ( and in Europe) the right size of tyres.
I use actually " 200 * 7.00 - 8 Nylon 2 Ply rating " ( "Tundra type"),
. May be they're not the most suitable for a Hard-surfaced runway.
I would be very grateful if somebody could give me :
* The right type and size I could set on the kitfox (model 4)
* The mail and telephone address, in the USA, where the product
would be available.
Thanks for your help

Those are the original Cheng Shin tyres. They did an excellent job on
my plane for the many years she flew from a grass airfield but after
two years on the asphalt I fly from, they got worn down.
Looking for an alternative, I asked the guys on this list and got a lot
of interesting answers. Finally, I went to a local tyre specialist and
asked what he had available. I wanted smooth tyres because I am afraid
of gravel being projected on my wings. He recommended a locally
produced tyre 0f 18x9.50 - 8. Of course it is a smaller tyre but it is
4-ply and very resistant. It also needs more pressure. While the Cheng
Shin needs 7 lbs, mine require much more, up to 24 lbs. But I put only
16 to 18 lbs in them and ... mind you, it gives a harder ride,
especially where the asphalt has some holes.
But they have served me good for the past year and half and show no
trace of wear. The brand is Rwde and since its written with a
Scandinavian letter, I guess ... it is Scandinavian. But I am sure
you'll find other similar brands in France, or in the US. Many people
on the list are very happy with huge tundra tyres but the question is:
Is it good on asphalt or concrete?
Amicalement,

I understand, Michel...when I use the "signatures" feature of my
mail, it puts it way down at the bottom of the page, below all the
add-on crap down there, and then I have to go down there, cut it, and
paste it up under what I wrote...a few seconds work, but better for
me than typing. As a matter of fact, this time I'm gonna leave it
where the program puts it and see where it ends up. I think it will
end up below your "do not archive" line.

Jean-Claude, try poking around in the sites below. The first one has a
tire that is ideal for the Kitfox. Not long ago they were having a
"special" on these, but it may be over by now. Just ask them if they
are still offering it.

I wouldn't think you'd have to do another W&B, just calculate where
the additional weight is going (the arm) and figure it in. Same for
the landing lights, I would think...but I've been wrong before.

I also had a Rotory Valve oil tank leak, I replaced the gasket
but
it still leaked, not a lot, but a little seems to spread all over and
looks
like a lot, it so happens that it was a crack in the cap. I ordered two
new
caps and gaskets, installed a new cap with new gasket, and safety wired
it nice and tight, and that solved the problem, never to leak again,
still
have that other new cap and gasket if any one needs one. I'll be glad
to
give it to someone sense I have a 912 now.

I solved a similar problem several years ago by moving the small oil
tank from engine mounted to firewall mounted.
Where is your tank mounted?

Jared,
I experienced the same thing. It may be too full and coming out
the breather hole. I my case, I did not have a gasket in the cap, so I
made one. It does need to breath though, so insure that there is a hole
in the gasket not aligned with the hole in the cap and you should be
set. Look at a lawn mower gas cap. I caution that it does have to
breath or oil will not flown properly. I learned that while draining
the oil to change it. If the cap was on too tight, the oil would not
drain.

Carlisle also makes some 8" ribbed tires in various sizes. Look in the lawn
tractor section of
www.cedarrapidstire.com They might be better on paved runways than the
totaly smooth tundra tires.
