Since it's good to haul two people, it will do fine with one big one. And here's
one way to improve the seat. This was done when N582EF was still a 2-seater,
if you don't have a passenger, the seat would not need to be narrowed. And if
you left off the back rest (my preference) it would have been even easier.

Hello Kolb / Jabiru flyers,
I just pulled a Key West Tachometer P/N: ED-9704B out of the panel of Kol
bra #1. Looks fine but don=99t know anything about it. I will not be
running a Jabiru and so will need a Tac with a higher top end. Contact me
off list, if you want it.
Thanks,
Nick Cassara

Subject: | Re: Big motor, big problem? |
Has anyone thought of trying to install an O-200 Conti on an M3X. with
my modified rail Mount I could paste one there, the oil tank will not be
in the way. However it's a big sucker, and heavy, but,,, about the same
weight as the DBL cam 16 valve 1.3 litr zuki I have sitting there now.
I think it was Williams that had a Hirth on his M3X he went over to a
912 later on. Still not clear why he did not stay with the Hirth. the
specs look mighty good on it.
I see some of them Conti O-200 pretty affordable.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
according to larry borne,,, that was going to be his original plan,,,,
when people told him it was too heavy he started on the vw with psru.
then the chain in the psur exploded he caned the vw idea, once again
considered the o 200. i think he mentioned a B model, to be in a pusher
configuration. then he sold everything. to my knowledge that is the
only mention of o 200 i iknow of.

I was 280 & 6' [lost a little] & was quite comfy. A friend of mine was
about 300 & 6'4" and was a little short on leg room but still flew it for
several years.
The seat is OK, just don't put thick padding on the back but DO get a nice
thick [1-2"] Temperfoam for the bottom
On your preflight, always check the bar for cracks that keeps the seat
vertical.

I have thought about it since my first pondering about which motor. I think I mentioned
it back in 2001 thereabouts. Since I have changed the mount to my rail
design that problem of how to accommodate the oil tank has gone away. I need
some free time to maybe go and buy one. I have no problems with aircraft engines
( I am A&P) so it should be a straight job of getting it running. The only
thing I am troubling about is a bad mount design for the O-200. I have a friend
with a Vereze that has an O200 so I need to look at it some more to see if
I want to do it. I may just stay with the Suzuki as I am 90% there; just fed up
with the complexity of the installation.

Thanks for your comments Jimmy. I am thinking you may be right on, but I
lack the aircraft experience to even guess.
I have not heard that VE hopped up the Generac engine. I would really like
to know what mods they performed for you to get the performance that you did
get (if any mods at all).
I originally bought the Generac before I had my Kolb. It isn't the end of
the world if I don't use the Generac on there. I have a new 503 DCDI in the
garage. My experience is in engine building and modifications. I have
enjoyed pleasing results, some surprisingly good, but am NOT saying I am
anybody's idea of a professional. My interest is/was in seeing how close to
a good aircraft engine I could convert the Generac into. With the torque
peak at +/- 2200 rpm I feel that there remains considerable power and torque
potential remaining untouched here. I have no idea what I will decide to do-
but so far I have been investigating high-torque cams, with my desktop Dyno.
More to go on that. I kinda anticipate doing some manifold and head work.
Not sure the carb yet. I may lower compression some, may mod/replace the
ignition. I think 36 degrees is too much advance for my taste. The gasoline
flywheel has a more reasonable advance. Mine is a propane model.
Jimmy, suppose I had your exact engine, PSRU and a good prop match on my
lighter FS1. Do you have any wild guess what the performance might be then?
You think VE folks could give experienced feedback on that?

Hi George.
Love the sound of the VE Generac! I have quite a few trouble hours behind
Rotax 2 strokes (well over 400 hours) but only a few in a Kolb (Firestar
XKP)and I'm wondering if there seems to be issues with the two? Are there
still a lot of folks using the 503 on the Kolb or for some reason is
everyone searching for something else for a given reason? I've been away
from the 2 stroke scene for a goodly number of years, so things may have
changed. Last 2 stroke I had was a 618. A wonderful engine. Any info you
can share with me on the 503 and Kolb Firestar would be much appreciated.
