My flying friends refuse to trust oil injection from 503's to 582's.I was t
he only one in the group to stick with it from new purchase to sale of the
FS2. I flew over 750 hrs with absolutely NO problems,checking the rings for
free movement every 150 hrs,checking the bore and skirts for issues as wel
l.At 450 hrs I pulled the heads and cylinders to de-carbon the top ring lan
ds which showed carbon instead of oil when pushing on the ring through the
exhaust port with a popcicle stick during inspection.I even used 100LL for
the first 100 hrs or so because it was so handy at the airport.New plugs e
very 25 hrs.I loved that engine and I could find no fault with the factory
engineers at Rotax who designed the injection system.Used Pennsoil for airc
ooled from the start.

I guess I don=99t understand =9Chigher ratio at some throttle
settings=9D seems that the oil injector has an actuator that is l
inked to/with the throttle....when you are at idle, there is only a small a
mount of oil being injected,,,, when you are at WOT the oil injector is
pumping more oil,,, but the ratio of oil to gas should be constant. mor
e throttle =more gas and more oil less throttle=less gas and less oi
l....but both should be a constant mix..... the only experience I have ha
d with oil injection was with a snowmobile.... when the injector failed fo
r the second time,,,,, I removed it and went to pre mix.

That`s the ratio I got, when I did the math. (96/1) Seems a little lean on
oil to me. I took my oil injector off my 503, so I could install an electri
c starter. I premix 50/1, so I`m not sure if an average of 96/1 is good or
not. As Herb said the amount of oil injected varies with RPM. Still that mi
ght not be enough oil. In order to average 96/1 it has to be running at an
even higher ratio at some throttle settings. That would make me nervous. L

Beautiful, Larry! Video worked well, excellent quality. And the soundtrack
made it even more enjoyable.
Inhospitable terrain, alright. Do you fly with a ballistic chute? How many
seconds would you have had to pull the trigger?

I do not have a ballistic chute. Sometimes "you pays your money and take
your chances". I rarely fly high enough for a chute to be effective.

When I re-posted the "Kolbster Ages" chart about 10 days ago, it apparently
prompted a lot of people to fill out the form... And perhaps some filled
it out the first time, too! Oh well. It's far from scientific, but I just
thought it would be interesting. So, tallying up the new information, here
is what it looks like now:

If you're more a numbers person than visual, here's the breakdown:

I think that there is whatcha call a bell curve. Glad to know us
Kolbsters conform so well! ;-)

All, When discussing the advantages of oil injection over premixing at the
last Rotax class I went to, Eric said that the oil pump is a variable ratio
pump. More oil goes in at low rpm, on the order of the 2% (50 to 1) that is
recommended for premixing, but at cruise RPM it drops to around 1.6% or 70
to 1. Somewhere I've seen a graph showing oil consumption versus fuel
consumption that confirmed it but I'll be darned if I can find it right now
.
