well, got egt problems again. seems like every time I get them straightened
out, six months or so later, more trouble. tried all kinds of tests,
switching them, trying different ones, checked here and there. cant seem to
isolate the problem. next I am going to remove the wires from the glass
gauge unit and install a short extension right to the probes. this should
tell me something. went flying and everything was cool and all of a sudden
a bobble in the engine. did it again and lost power. was able to keep it
running in order to have a little power on off field landing. (sixth time I
have had an emergency landing off field) landed okay and called my wife to
come with the trailer. the micro filter just slammed plain shut on me while
flying. never seen nothing like this. could not even blow through it. no
light, no air and could not clean it. don't know what clogged it. replace
it and the secondary filter and everything is fine. now, back to the egt.
I have a flashing light when something is wrong on the temps. the egt should
have lighted up or at least shown a lean condition when it ran out of gas
in the carbs. was wondering what do I need them for? are the egts really
necessary? Anyone running without them. I remember airwolf telling me they
do not recommend them on 912s being as they are 2 strokers. any comments?

Ted=2C
Comments? Here's a couple=3B
I would use that microfilter again for NO amount of
money. I'd take that sucker apart and find out WHY it slammed shut.
Is an EGT necessary? Some would say no=2C some say yes. Personally=2C
I LIKE knowing how well my engine is running (or how poorly). I'd
say=2C "if your engine always runs perfect=2C and never=2C ever has any pro
blems=2C
don't worry about an EGT."
Lastly=2C tell the guy at Airwolf he should refrain from giving advice on
912s 2 strokes.......'cause thar ain't any such critter!!'

Last response was supposed to say "WOULDN'T use that filter". Note to
self=3B proof-read BEFORE you push 'send'. At any rate=2C I'm sure you go
t
the idea.

Ted,
It is possible you have too fine a filter?I have seen a filter remove fuel
additives and clog.It was a teflon additive that could pass through the car
b and jetting with out problems but closed the filter.In theory,other than
water,any particle smaller than the smallest orifice in the carb should not
give you trouble,and that may be judged by the mesh of the filter screen t
hat surrounds the main jet.
The number of power failures you've had is amazing.Have you been able to
locate the specific cause for each of them?I have a friend with a 912s on
a mk3c that has had at least 2 events of lost power,fuel starvation in both
cases ,but he has not identified the root cause for either.But he has stat
ed that both times the fuel level in the tanks was close to half,but he fai
led to engage the aux pump either time.
It takes a few seconds for the egt probe to sense change.You may have had
not enough time to register the change on a 4 stroke.
Could you give me some insight into your other power failures?
Thanks,G.Aman MK3C jabiru2200A 600+hrs .

I have never run EGT gauges with my 912 engines. Have never felt I needed
to monitor EGTs, with nearly 3,000 hours flying in front of 912 engines.

Let me suggest that you Google "fuel strainer sock," for in-tank use as your fuel pickup. Something like this: http://www.ssdieselsupply.com/product_338_In_Tank_Fuel_StrainerSock.html
There are other versions that have the pickup outlet in the side.
Then go to your friendly auto parts store with a good idea of what you want, and
start browsing. As long as it is a likely candidate to go on the end of your
fuel pickup tube, or inside the tank over your tank outlet, that's what you want.
Pick out something with lots of surface area, and an opening that will easily
adapt to your plumbing. Then it will be unlikely for your inline filter
to ever see any junk.

I use a finger strainer in the tank.
http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/fingstrainers.php
And a Purolator inline glass tube filter. I replaced the glass tube with a
piece of .58" alum tube. Had my first glass tube crack first night it was
installed.
Easy to stick a few elements in my flight bag if I should need them on a
trip. Usually get 100 hours on an element.
Elements can be cleaned in an emergency to get back into the air if you
don't have a new replacement.

i have had one of these filters in my boat for years,,,, and never once had
an issue, sold the boat to my son and i don't think he has had any
problems. unless there is a difference in the elements,,, mine was more
of a fine mesh screen, not like a paper element,,, i could take it apart to
clean it. being a fine mesh screen it would not plug up if there happened
to be any moisture come through. and if installed vertical, the moisture
could accumulate in the bottom of the filter glass before it got to the
filter element, unless there were a LOT of water.

Thanks Bert.
My mkIII is ok.
I have been working on the the last several days in prep for my 2,000 mile
flight out to Oregon next week.
It is just about ready to go. All I have to do is pack my bag and load up
my gear.
Will be gone about one month or whenever I get tired and ready to come home.
Glad the parts worked for you. Did you get your Sport ticket?
