| Subject: | Unmounting engine |
Luis,
If you can assess what you need to with the motor mount in place I would
sugggest leaving the motor mount on the engine and removing the engine/mount
from the firewall. It's been a while, but I remember that getting the mount
on the engine was a bit tricky.
When I took my engine off to make the repair to the stator, I bolted a 2'
x2' piece of 3/4" plywood to the propeller hub, used an engine hoist to
removed the engine, then tipped the nose down and lowered the plywood onto a
knee high stand I made from 2x4s and clamped the plywood in place. This made
an excellent engine stand and was very stable.
To re-mount the engine, just reverse the process. I did it by myself and did
not feel uncomfortableat any point.
Good luck

I'd like to address a persistent oil leak in a rear accessory case of my
912UL. It's a slow drip that I could live with if it weren't that it drips
on the lower motor mounts. The oil and the heat conspire to ruin the mounts.
Only problem is that I have to unmount the engine to get to the problem
area. I didn't build this airplane and I've never done any work this
involved. Any advice on this? Anything in particular I should look out for?

Hello, Kitfox 582 drivers. I have my model II together and about ready to
fly here in Dallas. I have test run the engine per the Rotax guidelines and
have a few questions if anyone will give advice. On starting, one cylinder
always starts before the other, and it really shakes running on one-is this
typical? I doesn't idle smoothly under 2300 rpm but I haven't tried to sync
the carbs. What is the best procedure to sync them. Do you stand behind
the spinning prop? That could be scary? I can rig up a manometer out of
tubing and oil. Does it attach at the nipple on the front of the carb, and
where is the adjustment made? All advice appreciated. Do not archive.
If you have time to call me, my cell is 214 734 2524. See you at Airsho,
I'll be camping at north 40 by Mooney N99855 and hanging out around the
McBean display.

Jack,
I bought my throttle cable replacement from Lockwood. It was very
reasonable and they sell either the cable or the sheath. If you have the
"old"
bellcrank,as I have, you can then use Highwing LLc's "throttle bug" which
makes carb syncing a piece of cake ! (you pneumatically sync one carb to
the
other with a turn of a knob-takes all of about 30 seconds !)

Here's a photo of a Classic 4 with the wings folded. This is the right
wing.
The wing lock back brace in the photo has a tab on the right end with a hole
for
a bolt that holds both lock back braces. The bolt goes through that tube
you
mentioned at the lower front of the vertical fin.

Check out www.bullyhawk.com They make an amazing throttle cable. It is
some new weave of cable that when you push on it outside of the cover it
actually straightens out instead of bending. very neat stuff.

So I gather you removed the propeller? I was wondering if that would be necessary.
I have access to an engine hoist. I'm hoping that will be enough.
Thanks for the tip in the engine mount. I'll give that a shot.
