George,
After trying a half dozen sealants with the accompanying
aggravation I finally broke down and bought the Pro-seal from ACS. It's
the only one that I could get to work with 100LL.

I used the Dow 730 sealant years ago after it was recommended to me by an aircraft-builder
friend who worked for Dow. I managed to get Aircraft Spruce to stock
it. Though it's expensive, I have not had a fuel leak on anything I've used
it on, including tank cover plates and square-port fuel gauges. I saw another
friend put it on a tank fitting and then pour fuel into the tank immediately,
no leak. It's always worked well. I've had my tube for 20 years - it's still
in the frig and still just as good as new. I look at the price like a complete
"gasket kit" for a lifetime of fuel systems. Sky Geek has it today for $78.

Yea, I had one on a 503 and used one on the 582 it is now in use with the HKS
I feel they help some but will not replace doing a good balance job on the prop
to start with.

That's kinda what I figured. Not the answer to all problems but maybe a little
help.
I must admit, I'm a little disappointed with my new Blue Head/C gear box (2.58:1)
combo. I traded a Gray Head/B box combo in and the new engine seems a little
less smooth with my same old GSC 3-bladed prop, recently refurbished and balanced
by the factory and meticulously installed, pitched, and tracked. Seems
like a very high freq vibration, worse around 4K rpm, but never really disappears
across the rpm spectrum.
Maybe I'm just more aware of it since I expected smoothness. The old gray head
didn't even have the liquid-filled flywheel on it.

OK, I need a little education here. Liquid flywheel??
I am in the midst of changing my greyhead for a Mod 99 myself and I do not
expect more smoothness (the original exceeded my expectations) or any
difference at all except that I should not have to watch the temp gauge
quite so much. But I am using my old "c" box chunk of iron flywheel. What is
a "liquid_filled" flywheel and should I want one?

Hi Chris, have you checked that your carbs are in synchronized, on the Bing 54's
it easy just remove the airfilters and measure each slide at idle, 1/4 1/2
3/4 and full throttle if both are the same at all positions it is fine if not
adjust the cable to get both the same.

Occom...In the mid-90's, Rotax went to a flywheel (the one on the generator side
of the engine, not the gearbox) that contains some kind of viscous liquid.
This helps to dampen the power pulses and is supposed to absorb vibrations before
they leave the engine. It's standard on all their 2-strokes now I believe.
Mnflyer...Good point on the carbs. I've spent quite a bit of time synching them
without use of the Synchromate, i.e. just making sure the slides are even and
they reach the top @ the same time and the egt's match up well. I'm curious
about the Synchromate though. It appears that it is made more for the 912/914
Rotaxes, rather than the 2 strokes as it refers to 2 carbs that are vacuum
linked. Where would one hook up the vacuum lines that run to the instrument on
the 582/Bing 54 carbs?
