| Subject: | Re: Oil injection? |
To clarify, I really like the oil injection as well, but would add another
item of maintenance, after my last experience with the broken oil line.
Any such plastic/nylon/rubber lines carrying oil or fuel and exposed to
the weather need to be replaced regularly, even if they still look OK.

Thanks to all of you for your insights and information. Like most things,
simple is better and as close to foolproof as possible. As with most things
however maintenence is the main solution.

Wes:
Yes, 100hp 912ULS.
Those of us that have flown the Kolbs a bit forget what it
is like to fly other aircraft. We get used to the great
performance and forgiving attitude Homer Kolb designed into
them.

John, thanks for the links to your videos. I bet your were
off the ground in under 200 feet. Is that a 912 100 hp?
Frank, thanks for sharing your experiences and how you shoot
approaches.

For every failure of oil injection there is probably a failure of the pilot to
remember to add oil when pre-mixing.

Subject: Kolb-List: RE: to inject or not to inject...
My only experience with oil injection was years ago on 2-stroke motorcycles
.
I loved it. I used far less oil, I kept my hands clean when fueling, the
engine carboned up less. I am interested in using it on my 447 or 503.

Years ago I bought a Rototiller at a yard sale. Huge heavy thing,
self-propelled, gear box, built like they usta build. Cast iron, etc. It ha

a big single cyl engine under a cowling in front. So, I used the thing a fe
w
times, it ran great, it was quite a machine. After a while I figgered I'd
check the valve lash, change the oil, etc. Tore into it, to my surprise it
was a 2-stroke! Yeah, I know, makes me sound dumb. But it ran so slow and
had such torque. So after a few hours of operation I finally started giving
it oil in the gas. No apparent damage.

Hi everyone:
This subject of oil injection is pretty timely since I'm on the verge of
installing an injection unit on a Rotax 503 DCDI. It seems to be pretty
straightforward but there is also a problem. I use prime instead of
manual choke on the 503 to get it started and the prime line goes to the
nipple on each intake manifold. That seems to be the same place where
the oil lines have to go also. Can anyone suggest a workaround? Would a
tee fitting work? Does the manifold need another nipple?
Thanks for any help anyone can give.
