| Subject: | 912 idle speed adjustment |
--> RotaxEngines-List message posted by: Thom Riddle <jtriddle@adelphia.net>
During our annual inspection we balanced the carbs on the 912UL and
adjusted the idle speed to 1400 rpm after the oil temperature was up to
120F. With the carbs. balanced the idle is much smoother than before.
However, after flying the airplane for about an hour with the oil temps
up into the normal operations range around 215F, when closing the
throttle the idle speed went down to well under 1400 rpm.
My question: Must the engine be up to normal operating oil temp
(190-230F) when adjusting the idle speed?

Hi Gang, We have about 50 hrs now on our 912 S. We routinely check the oil
level by rotating the prop until you hear the "gurgle"and the read the oil
level in the stick. After always seeing the level in the proper range on the dip
stick, this last time checking the oil I rotated the prop an extra rotation
after hearing the "gurgle" and heard more air. Looking at the oil tank I
couldn't believe the oil was running out of the top and on to the floor. Has anyone
experienced this? Should you stop as soon as you hear the air enter the
tank? Did extra air get trapped under the oil, forcing it out of the top?
Thanks in advance for your responses
Bob Griffin

Bob,
Looks like you overfilled the oil tank. Turning the prop is for
returning engine oil into the tank. Did you add any oil before ?
