Larry,
You have to set the PR (pulse per revolution) setting to 6 if you have a
Rotax 2 stroke and the EIS with the single sub D connector. If you have a
912, or the old two connector EIS you are on your own.
Give Grand Rapids a call if you can't get it, they will straighten you right
out and will probably send you all the tech info for your unit.

I have a rather simple solution that I have pictured on my web site that has
worked well on my stock MKIII doors for a few years. The door props are made
out of two pieces of left over 5/16 aluminum tubing and small .5 x 1 inch
al. sheet stock. The hinges are pop rivets and the sheet al. is attached to
keep the arms from going over center too far so that they hold the door
open. They cost nothing as they are made from left over Kolb parts, they
can't weigh more than an ounce for both and they work. I can taxi and they
will stay open as long as I don't go over too rough a ground. Some sort of
open lock would be fairly easy to add but for me it isn't necessary.

I have a Kolb Mk III (Classic). What ideas has anyone come up with to hold
the clamshell doors open when it is on the ground.
Usually when I am taxiing or leave the doors open to cool off the aircraft,
a gust of wind invariably sends the doors crashing down.

Larry, call the EIS folks, I found them to be very pleasant and eager to
help solve problems. They remind me of Jim & Dondi.

Hey Guys,
I just bought the 2 1/2" spacer from IVO , it was $80....It comes
with the replacement bolts too .They also have the Spinners that fit their
NEW style pitch adjuster hubs.....for only $30
I also ordered a EIS from Grand Rapids w/ALT & VSI and 12 ft cable.....there's
$685
I tried to order a GPL starter but they didn't answer.....TOO LATE (Florida)
That will be a QUICK thousand....... it's a good thing I've been working alot
of overtime.
Anybody know where I can buy Koltz KL-216 synthetic oil in Minnesota ?
I tried searching the archives concerning the problem that was talked about
the exhaust brackets that were cracking....( NO LUCK ).did you guys replace them
with stainless steel ?
I'm not going to pay over $200 for a oil injection tank....I'll make something
or adapt something.....any ideas ???

Below is a copy of a prior post by Jerry Pridemore regarding what he found
and used for an oil injection tank.
jerb
I was wandering around the "PEP Boys auto parts store yesterday, and noticed
an aftermarket Radiator overflow/ wiper-washer reservoir, that looks amazingly
like the one sold by Lockwood, LEAf, for 22.00, as an oil injection tank,
similar right down to the bracket. 2-3/4 quarts 9.99.

Thanks to all for the advice on the eis. Living on the west coast, I didn't
get a chance to call them today, will do so tomorrow. I am beginning to
wonder if something might be wrong with it after all. The hour meter isn't
working either, and I cannot get it past the screen that resets the
defaults. Or at least I can't get it to the screen that sets the pulse rate.
Regarding cabin heat. has anyone used a "heater core" from a car to
supply heat to a Mark III? At first glance it seems to be possible. Either a
12 volt fan or a bit of ducting from the front. Any thoughts?
Larry

Motorcycle radiator & 2 plastic 12V computer fans, works great.
Check it out at
http://www.bcchapel.org/pages/0003/kolb.htm
Look under "Adding A Heater"
If you decide to add a heater, let me know before you start to plumb it,
because I have since found out a bit about plumbing that really helps make
the cooling work better, and it is not yet on the web page.
Just got my airplane back in the air last week after 5 months worth of
mods, and on Saturday I had a batch of bad epoxy dissolve and it was part
of the gas tank mod... Kind'a messy.
