raising the brake arm up 1.5 inch solved my problem. makes all the difference in
the world. however, they are no longer true 'toe-brakes'. You do have to lift
you feet some to get on them.

The best fuel sealant that I've found for threaded fittings is Dow 730
Solvent Resistant Sealant. It was specifically designed by Dow for use
with fuel and other solvents. It's been on my airplane for 16 years now.
It doesn't harden, so it doesn't crack. Also, it really doesn't have to
cure before you let gasoline at it - the fittings are ready to use right
away. But it's not cheap. Sit down for this - it costs $99.50 for a 3-oz
tube from Aircraft Spruce. Years ago I convinced Phil to start stocking
it. At first he thought I was crazy. Maybe you all will, too. But no
fitting has ever leaked with it. A tube will probably do 10 airplanes,
which is why I loan it to my friends. We have all had good experience
with it. I've kept mine in a frig since I bought it and it's still good.

Mike, Thanks for the recommendation. I put mine back together today with th
e
Permatex non hardening that I already had and that Lynn says he uses. I'll
put gas in it tomorrow. If it leaks again, I will bite the bullet and try
the stuff you recommend. Did you use it on fittings going into plastic tank
s
with worn threads?

| Subject: | Rotax fuel pressure |
I am in the process of adding a electric fuel pump in parallel to my Rotax 582
(DCDI) single pressure pump. what pressure should I set the pressure regulator
at?
I have a pressure gauge on the plane now and it usually reads between 4-6 PSI with
the mechanical pump only.
thanks..Jack
Is 5 PSI to high or to low?

The max is 5.8 psi, but no real reason to set it up there. 5.0-5.5 would do just
fine. Normal for most engines while running is 3.1 - 4.6 psi

No rebuild kit for the mechanical 912 pump. It is sealed. You have to buy the pump.

Hi Clem,
If your electrical system is exposed you absolutely should cover it. Leaving it
exposed is too risky for your safety and for the engine. If something gets into
this it will be very costly. I would consider this as an important issue to
take care of.
I would be asking the question of where it went? They come with the cover on all
912's.

KFer's, What is the best way to test the ASI system? Mine registered stall
at 27 and cruise at 47. I tried rolling up surgical tube on the pitot tube
to get a reading to no avail. Is there a way to test the ASI seperately?

Right, that cover came with the new and improved pricing on the
912UL. It was about a $2k item.

Not true, Roger. My 1996 R-912 did not come with one. They were introduced
later to keep stuff from being dropped into the area and sticking to the
magnets. I don't think I ever had one, but I was extremely careful in that
area. I do, though agree that they are a good idea. I have one on my new
(second hand) engine.

Hi Lowell,
If they didn't come that way back then, I stand corrected (Thanks), but I'd certainly
get one on there now. I don't think I have ever had an engine come through
here without one. I know how much those parts cost and how much labor cost
are to fix some of those things in that area. That cover cost $75. The parts
and labor could easily make it ten+ times that to fix broken items depending on
the damage.
