| Subject: | battery/starting issues |
> If I got stuck somewhere with a low battery, unable to start the 912ULS,
I would not be going anywhere.
I poke around in really remote areas on my various trail bikes. On some, and
especially on my road bikes, Honda scooters (250cc and 600cc) I like to
monitor the charging system. Hate to have it quit way out there. I can no
longer count on my body to walk back in. Long years ago I was a crew leader
on a FS hot-shot crew. Now... things are different. Oh- yeah, charging... I
install a lil LED thingee that shows the state of charge. I would
immediately know if my alternator stopped working or something. These are
cheap and easy to install. They show several levels of charge from flat to a
red blinking state for over-charging. It goes through off, orange, green,
red blinking red and maybe another. It's orange when I turn the ignition on.
That shows the battery is good but isn't being charged. Once running, one
gets used to the solid green (around 13.5v - 14.5 IIRC) and if it ever were
to change it would grab my attention quickly.

Dee, Is yours an early Mk III? Is there a serial number on the aft end of
the engine mount tube? I ask because the bell crank to which the elevator
cables are attached is not the latest version. Is the cable that appears in
this picture: http://forums.matronics.com//files/img_1190_880.jpg the trim
cable? Does it run all the back to the elevator bell crank at the elevator?

PS If that is a paper fuel filter you ought to consider replacing it with
one that has a synthetic element. Rotax has a service bulletin that
recommends against using paper elements. If you get ethanol gas there is a
possibility that water held in suspension by the ethanol can saturate paper
element and effectively block the flow of fuel.

Here is my new panel and my old panel on my Firestar. Don't paint it white. Big
mistake. Reflects too much off the lexan.

Yes, it=99s a early (old) Mk3. There=99s no SN on the aft
end of the engine mount tube. There are two cables shown in the photo.
The one in the foreground (the one out of focus) is one of the rudder
cables. The other cable (with the plastic sleeve) is the trim cable that
goes all the way back do the elevator horn.

See attachments. A down stop is installed but needs modification;
however I see no up stops at all. An up stop is needed because the
controls stick hits the seat. Your input, especially photos, are
appreciated.

George- Let me know if you can get a good look at the photo. If not, I wil
l have my son-in-law come and take another. My only talent with a camera i
nvolves a photo of my thumb. As far as the compass location, I cut out the
panel, and made a mold from several layers of aluminum foil. Covered it w
ith Saran wrap, and glassed it in. The compass does not seem to be affecte
d by the other instruments.
