prop
| to get.
I am not even sure of the GB ratio.
If the cost is not to bad, I
| would like to have the 912 checked over (teardown for new seals and
| such), just in case.
Giovanni/All:
The 912 series engines uses a different regulator/rectifier. I tried
using a 582 reg/rec on my 912, but it did not produce power like the
specified 912 reg/rec did. Be sure you get it from the seller, or you
will have to purchase a new one. They are expensive.
912 normally uses a 2.273 to 1 ratio gear box, unless it has the
912ULS option of 2.243 to 1.
Unless there was a severe prop strike somewhere in the life of the
912, there should be no need to "tear down" the engine. The factory
recommended TBO of the 912 is now 1,500 hours. The dry sump
lubrication system of the 912 series engines demands that the engines
be sealed tight, except for the vent on the top of the remote oil
tank. Oil in the crankcase is returned to the oil tank by blow by
pressure of 3 to 5 lbs, or it may be 5 to 7 lbs. A leaking valve
cover gasket could reduce crankcase pressure and allow excess oil to
remain in the crankcase.
What was the reason for selling the 912?
Maintenance is simple on this engine:
1-Oil change at 100 hours.
2-Oil filter change at 100 hours.
3-Spark plug change at 200 hours.
4-Air filter clean and oil at 100 hours.
5-Coolant change at 2 year interval. Recommended to use long life, no
phosphate/no silicate antifreeze at 50/50 mix.
I have switched over to Valvoline Semi-Synthetic Durablend 20W50 Oil
for my 912ULS. Primary reason for switching from 100% Synthetic is
using 100LL fuel on cross country flights. Full synthetic oil will
not hold lead in suspension, allowing it to collect in the engine,
eventually blocking oil galleries and causing excess internal wear in
other areas. Semi-synthetic oil will suspend lead, as will organic
oil. However, organic oil does not have the high temp capabilities of
the sythetics.
Take care,
john h

It's finally official. I'm leaving Palm Springs for 5 weeks, starting on Friday,
June 18, and heading east and south. Route will lead me thru most of New Mexico
on I-40, angle down thru West Texas to the Gulf, then up and across the
southern states to Okefenokee, and south around Florida. No fixed itinerary........when
I run out of time, it'll only be 3 or 4 days to get home from where-ever
I happen to be. I'll be mosey-ing along (I mosey FAST) sniffing the roses
en route, but do like to keep moving. I'd like to visit some of the Kolb-ers
on the route, and re-visit some from last year. (if I'm still welcome :-)...)
Couple 100 miles out of the way is do-able. Seems like there's a pretty large
group near Ocala, (??) and I'll be going right thru there, heading for Tampa
Bay and points south, probably to the Keys. If you have a flat spot to park,
and an electric hook-up for my a/c, it'd sure help on campground expenses......especially
with the price of diesel fuel escalating. Except for the a/c,
the camper is self-contained. Flying will be fun, and I'd like to talk people
into rides as I go, and also............if any of you like to fish, fresh or
salt, let me know. I'll be towing my 15' tin boat again, got a camper full of
tackle, and would love to try the local hot spots, especially for less common
or targeted species, (gar ?? alligator gar ?? turtles ??) and really especially
for large salt water fish. (Cobia ?? Redfish ?? Amberjack ?? Permit ?? Tarpon
??) Unless I have a request for dinner, all my fishing is catch and release
- for photography only. Thanks guys Long Runnin' Lar.
Vamoose is (was) finished, and I fired it up for a tuning run yesterday, before
calling the inspector. Wanted to make 1st flight before the big trip. That
S.O.B. reduction drive blew a seal - again - and, of course, the prop blew oil
all over the plane, my boat, the driveway, neighbor's house, my house, storage
shed...............aaaaaaarrrrggghhhh ! ! ! ! Bullshit. I'm walking away from
the thing for a day or 5 - again. What's the best way to get all that oil
offa things without scrubbing down the whole miserable mess with a toothbrush
?? Getting prepped for the trip now, and Vamoose will likely go in the trailer
for the duration......after a bath. Man, I am soooooo.............#$%
%#.........disappointed.
Disgusted - again - Lar. Do not Archive.
P.S. I owe several people replies on emails from last week. Please don't
give up on me - it was one H - - - of a weekend, it's finally got hot for real,
and I'm a little rattled. Kind of a relief to get back to work last night,
tho' they ran me ragged. Lar.

Mike,
I have been using one for several years on the FireFly. Primarily I use it
to judge relative fuel consumption at different throttle settings and I have
not worried much about accuracy. Some time I am going to take a flight,
read the actual fuel used and then calibrate the unit. Currently, it is
reading at about half the true fuel consumption. One reason I have not
performed the calibration, is that one has to hold buttons depressed as one
turns on the unit. And the way my electrical system is set up, power is
only available when the engine is running. To calibrate, I need to make an
auxiliary power pack for the gauge. Then I can reset the calibration, and
it should indicate much closer to (within 2%) the true gph. The Mizer will
not accurately measure below .5 gph.
There is another fuel flow meter (Elba) out there that you might want to
consider. It is offered by SkySports, Lockwood and probably others
too:
http://www.airstuff.com
http://www.lockwood-aviation.com/miscfuel.htm
The sensor unit has a window in it so one can see what is going on. Also, I
believe the sample time is a little longer that the Mizer so that one will
not see large fuel flow fluctuations. They claim to be able to read down to
.1 gph. Where the Mizer is said to use 70 ma maximum the Elba tops out at
120 ma. Both seem to have many of the same features. If I had it to do
over again, I believe I would purchase the Elba. I hope this has not been
too confusing.

Haven't used that particular item, but i do use the fuel flow option on the
EIS. Quite pleased with it.

Hi John and Gang:
John I just looked at your beautiful / great pictures you took while
flying over the Rocky's.
I was wondering when you flew 13,300 feet high to clear one of the
passes did you have to use oxygen?

Lar,
You are welcome to hook up In front of my place. If the weather
cooperates we can take a trip offshore. If that doesnt work we can take a trip
to the jetties or the pass to try and get a red. Of course you will want to
see my Firefly so we can keep this Kolb related. We just got back from Fla. as
we go there each year. Got some fishing info. for you. Probably would be
best to reply off list.

Hi Bill/Gang:
No oxygen. I figured John W would pass out before me. He was at
14,500. If the Kolbra went out of control, that would be my signal
to descend. :-)
I think the reg says something like 30 minutes above 12,500 msl
without oxygen. Correct me if I am wrong.
Take care,
john h

Hello all,
I have decided to go with the used 912 over the new 582. I got a good
deal on the 912 and will be passing some of the savings on to sell the
582 fast. Here is what I have New 582 DCDI Blue head oil injection. I
mean new and never started. It has an E-Box 3.471 ratio, exhaust, rotax
oil tank, twin rads (slightly used/like new), intake silencer, powder
coated side exhaust mount, new exhaust and tall engine mount for the
MKIII from Kolb. Also comes with new CHT and EGT senders. I have over
$7000.00 invested. WOW I did not realize this until adding it all up
just now. I will take $5990 complete. Price firm. The motor with box
alone will cost more than this. I will also consider parting it out. Let
me know what you need and what you offer. I may do some trading. I need
an EIS for the 912 and maybe some sending units. I may also need a rad.
I also need a power fin or warp prop. Thanks for your help in making
this a smooth transition.
Giovanni Day
MKIII 912 and wings still need covering.
