    Subject: Bad Rotax 582 Stator Coil Removed
    I cannot imagine a Stator causing any damage. As for the connections and not being able to examine them, can you repair them. Heat, vibration, and overzealous use of plastic ties can put pressure on connections. The use of shrink tubing can cause similiar issues. Use a magnyfying glass to look for hairline cracks in any solder connections. One other issue. Didn't someone come up with a water craft part number that is the same but a fraction of the price? _____ From: owner-pulsar-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-pulsar-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Ron Koval Sent: Sunday, August 11, 2013 3:43 PM Subject: Pulsar-List: Bad Rotax 582 Stator Coil Removed Pulsar People, I am making progress with my Rotax 582 ignition problem. I just got the stator coil removed and fortunately the open 6 inches before the firewall, I did not need to remove or slide the engine from its mounts. I found one of the white (ground) magneto charging wires was broken right at the 2 prong rubber connector (shouldn't have had to remove the coil to discover that). But both green wires of this magneto charging source are open and as I am told they should read 230 ohms to ground. I wiggled wires to see if there was a loose connection or intermittent, but they always showed open. The wires and physical condition of the stator coil look perfectly fine, no scuffing, cracks, just looks solid. I anticipate ordering a replacement coil ($713, Ouch! one seventh the cost of a whole new engine). But, it scares me a bit that both mag charging coils are bad. In a way not a surprise, because during my most recent trouble shooting, I could not get spark from either ignition circuit. Earlier, there was a time, when one ignition circuit was working, where I found that the engine would not run on "L" mag switch, swapped mags, still would not runt on "L" mag switch, so both mags seem okay. But now I am wondering, can a mag have a fault condition that burns up a stator coil? I doubt it, but it could be costly to replace the stator coil and fry it. >From the looks of the 4 mag charging coils, they must have a significantly thinner wire, and allot more turns (230 ohms worth) than the regulator/battery charging coils, so they would be more susceptible to failure. The Quicksilver owner that I got the stator flywheel puller from, said he went through the same problem and replaced a stator coil on his Rotax 503. I plan on calling LEAF and talking to a tech, but any other thoughts from the Pulsar group out there is much appreciated. Gotta get this Pulsar safely flying for the Pulsar convention. Best regards, Ronko

    Ron No knowledge on the 582 but on the 912 there was a problem where both mags failed at the same time. The two wires that are in a metal sheath shorted out inside the sheath. That shorted the two wires together.

A positive benefit of the sequester was that those of us who were attending seminars and workshops could actually hear the presenters without multiple pauses caused by the heavy military iron roaring overhead.

    Subject: Re: 582 blue head upgrade question
    From: Clark Foster <clarkppt@aol.com>
    Thanks for the input George. I will do as you suggest. It looks like I have a few other items to tend to. Can you help with any of these items ? 1- will have to shift the rotary valve oil reservoir aft . I have a longer hose set and will make an extension off the igniti on mount plate 2- my radiators and cooling line are long lost. I just ordered 2 heater cores ( radiators) for an 82 Ford ( I wis h I knew the exact part Mark Brown used ). They will need new fitting attached. I could use some detail pictures of radiator fittings and ..... t he coolant fill tube with radiator cap. 3- I plan to fit the IVO 3 blade IFA I purchased years back. ( The P erry is damaged beyond repair) The rebuilt B box has the 2.6 gear set. It will be nice to avoid t he RPM drop on the TO roll. Do you have and comments. 4- The Bing carbs currently have the threaded needles with mixture adj ust knobs in the cockpit. Pretty effective but lots of fiddling in flight. I have a early H AC carb retrofit kit . I am pondering weather to a- install the HAC alone b- in combination with the threaded needles set up 5- My Pulsar last flew 6 years back. It used premix Amsoil ( 100 to 1) with avgas. I remember that ring remained free and I replaced plugs every 50 h rs as a precaution . How does that sound to you ? BTW: is the engine any smoother with the - HYDRO damper that Rotax ins talled on the Bluehead ?

But now I am wondering, can a mag have a fault condition that burns up a st ator coil?- I doubt it, but it could be costly to replace the stator coil and fry it.- From the looks of the 4 mag charging coils, they must have a significantly thinner wire, and allot more turns (230 ohms worth) than th e regulator/battery charging coils, so they would be more susceptible to fa ilure.=0A=0AThe Quicksilver owner that I got the stator flywheel puller fro m, said he went through the same problem and replaced a stator coil on his Rotax 503.=0A=0AI plan on calling LEAF and talking to a tech, but any other thoughts from the Pulsar group out there is much appreciated.=0A=0AGotta g et this Pulsar safely flying for the Pulsar convention.=0A=0ABest regards, =0A=0ARonko =0A=0A=0A=0A=0Aht; http://www.matronics.com/contri==== ====
