    Subject: Re: Mikuni Carb issue?
    Dana, It's been seven years since I had an engine equipped with a Mikuni, which is why I phrased my concern the way I did. One of the checks done during an annual on Bing carburetors (or any time, for that matter) is to see if the carb jet needle spins freely in the clip that sets its height in the needle jet. Bing has three remedies of which you choose two. One is to squeeze the clip together to seee if you can tighten up its hold on the needle. If unsuccessful, replace the needle and clip. Also check the bottom of the spring seat to see if it has a counterbore on its underside. If it doesn't, replace it, too. Now, whether you fixed it or replaced it, after you install the clip back on the needle, Bing has a tiny O ring that is put on the needle and up against the top surface of the clip, hence the need for the counterbore in the spring seat. If the needle is allowed to rotate in the clip it will eventually saw through the needle and it will drop into the needle jet amd shut off the fuel flow from the main jet which, just like the Mikuni, screws into the bottom of the needle jet housing. I don't know if either carb has enough fuel flow through the idle circuit to keep the engine running should the needle fall into the needle jet. I do know the wear does happen if the needle spins. On a 582 I worked on at Sun n Fun, one of the needles was almost worn through. Just by eyeball, I'd estimate the diameter of the needle where the clip was installed was 1/3 normal. See also Rotax Service instruction 8-UL 91E. I changed the name for my personal files, but that is what's attached.

Something I should be concerned about >with my Mikuni? > Dana, The only reason it could be an issue is if the clip has a burr on it that will shave the brass needle as it rotates and the clip is held fast. Check the clips for burrs and if they exist remove them with a jewelers file. If Bing had been careful about the clips they would not have to have added an "O" ring to the needle clip assembly to keep the needle from rotating. If the needle cannot rotate the burr can not shave the slot. It might be a good thing to call Mikuni and ask if there has ever been a problem of the clips cutting the needles into two pieces. Jack B.

    Subject: Re: Mikuni Carb issue?
    Thanks Rick and Jack, When I had it apart the other day (moving the needle clip for colder weather) it looked tight, but I'll check it again. According to ultralightnews.com (referring specifically to the Mikuni): "The first and most widely reported was the failure of the retaining clip of the jet needle, due to vibration and fatigue located in the carb slide. This failure allows the jet needle to fall down into the main jet cutting of the supply of fuel to the engine. "The engine still runs but at an idle. This should be an area of regular inspection. An update kit was available at one time which replaced the slide and jet needle, and allowed for the placement of a small plastic spacer between the slide and clip helping to eliminate wear and fatigue on the clip." -Dana -- This is a test of the emergency tagline system. Were this an actual tagline, you would see amusing mottos, disclaimers, a zillion net addresses, or edifying philisophical statements. This is only a test.

    Larry, Please send me a copy of the photo... I have always enjoyed your submissions in the past. IMHO your self censorship is somewhat misplaced... Those that complain about photos on the list are failing to use the technology properly. My internet connection is tenuous... When comes in at high speeds, I am able to view the list in the "BBS Forum Interface" mode. Here I can get a pretty blue border, icons for new messages and attachments, avatar photos, thumbnails of the photos, and all the messages for a thread on a single page... Often my connection slows to sub-modem speeds... At those times (like now... I will be unable to post this message until it speeds a bit) I view the daily summery of the list in my eMail. In this mode all the photos are given as links. If I elect to view a photo I can click it. This isn't as pretty or convenient as the "BBS Forum Interface", but all the data is accessible and doesn't take hours to download. There are many reasons for a slow speed connection (in my case, location, location, location). But those with slow speed connections, should view the list in a manner consistent with the technology they are able access. To ask the rest of the members of the list to bump along at 56k and not to share photos is unfair. Again, IMHO. -------- Henry Firefly Five-Charlie-Bravo Do Not Archive Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=145969#145969

I drilled my cord out according to instructions and found that for the most part it does stop the interference. There were two instances though that I still got the static, but it was not constant. Not sure what to think, other than it is better, but still requires more squelch to stop the noise than without. It is now usable, where it was not before. Larry C

    Subject: Re: Musings on Safety and the BRS
    From: "henry.voris" <henry_voris@yahoo.com>
    Rick, "Statistics and damned lies..." or it's the way you look at the numbers. You said, "With only 156 recorded deployments that's equals a .00678% of actually needing it." Are you complaining because these systems saved only 201 lives or because BRS advertising makes it appear that there were 201 deployments rather than 156? The need to deploy 6.76 chutes per 1000 installations is a significant number. I should think that 6.76 deployments per 5,000 or even 10,000 would be inducement enough to install such a system. The proposition that a pilot can anticipate and avoid all problems that might occur during a flight, through proper pre-flight inspection and "maintenance and training" is a simple demonstration of hubris (modern usage of the word). The argument that pilots who go through the effort and expense to install a chute, and then become sloppy about or eliminate pre-flight inspections, maintenance and/or training is a bit far fetched (a bit of an insult, too). In fact, it should add another item to your checklist... I don't believe that your insinuation that pilots install chutes because they are hen-pecked ("...do as you (or your wife) wishes.") adds any value to your arguments. Personally if I collide with an ewa or suffer a structural failure in flight, I want to have a full bag of tricks to deal with it... Like most on this list... I've missed my chance to "die young, stay pretty". -------- Henry Firefly Five-Charlie-Bravo Do Not Archive Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=146006#146006

    Kolbers, Even though I do not have a BRS or for that matter a 912 installed on my Mk-3, (both because of budget constaints). I always tell folks if you can afford either, put em on. If the worst does happen, having the chute installed gives you something to do on the way down besides screaming. Denny Rowe Mk-3 N616DR

    The carb update just uses an O ring around the needle just above the clip.The pressure of that O ring being squeezed between the plastic spring seat and the base of the slide prevents the needle from spinning in the clip.
