Ferg,
You are correct. For the sake of accuracy, I was indeed referring to
the US Quart. The conversion ratio is
1 Liter = 1.057 US Quart = 0.880 Imperial Quart
Too bad the UK and the US don't convert all measurements to the world
standard metric system; it would reduce confusion and miscommunication.
I am a retired engineer who was fortunate to have worked for 1/2 year
in Mexico and a full year in The Netherlands and acclimated to the
metric system quickly.
The only thing about the Imperial system I like better than either the
metric or US system is when beer is served in pints :-),
Cheers,
Thom in Buffalo

Hey guys
Figured I would make a note slight off topic.
A while back Rotax changed the length of the oil dipstick:
SB-914-026UL Introduction Of A New Oil Dipstick For Rotax Engine Type 912
& 914 (Series) 4/2003 10
The characteristics of some modern motor oils can result in slower return
of oil to the oil tank. This can cause the oil tank level to fall below
the minimum level. To correct this problem a new oil dipstick with new
level marks has been introduced.
Kinda important is to not follow the manual on how to prime (vent) the oil
system. If you open the system (take out bottom plug) or turn prop
backward, I think more than 1 turn (it may be 3/4?) or open the system in
any other way follow below
SB-914-022UL Inspection for Correct Venting Of The Oil System For Rotax
912 & 914 Rev. 1 8/2002 11
It has been established that damage of the engine valve train on the
ROTAX 912/914 series engines may be possible due to incorrect venting of
the lubrication system.
Go to :
http://www.rotax-owner.com/index.htm
click service documentation tab on top
click by engine model
drop down and choose your motor
choose all document types
Be prepared to spend some time going through if you already did not.

| Subject: | List Enclosure Support |
--> RotaxEngines-List message posted by: Matt Dralle <dralle@matronics.com>
Dear Listers,
Over the years, I have resisted the urge to enable enclosure support on the Matronics
Lists for a number of reasons relating to performance, capacity, capability,
and security. However, its now 2006 and most everyone using email these
days is on an email client that, at some level, supports the viewing and handling
of enclosures. I get a fair amount of email each month from people on the
various Lists asking why their posts of this or that picture didn't go through.
Back quite a while ago by popular request, I enabled enclosure support for a few
Lists such as the RV10-List, Kolb-List, and the Tailwind-List. Contrary to
my fears, there really hasn't been any significant issues on these Lists relating
to the advent of enclosure support and for the most part, members have policed
themselves well with respect to the size of things they have posted.
Having enclosures enabled on some Lists and not others has given me a fair amount
of headaches with respect to filtering messages and content since the formats
are often quite different between a typical MIME encoded message and a generic
plain-text message. The spammers are getting more cleaver all the time and
are constantly trying to thwart my best efforts at keeping them from posting
to the Lists.
So, for these reasons, I've have decided to go ahead and enable limited enclosure
posting on all of the email Lists at Matronics. This will not only increase
the utility of the Lists, but will afford me a better opportunity to filter
out the chaff.
Here are some of the features and limits of enclosures on the Matronics Lists:
1) Enclosures will only be posted to the Real Time version of the
Lists.
2) Enclosures will NOT be included in the Daily Digest version of
the Lists.
3) Enclosures WILL BE forwarded on to the BBS Forum Web site.
4) Enclosures will NOT be appended to the Archives.
5) Enclosures will NOT be available in the List Browse feature.
6) Only the following file types and extensions will be allowed:
jpg, bmp, gif, txt, xls, pdf, and doc
All other enclosures types will be rejected and email returned to
sender. The enclosure types listed above are relatively safe from
a virus standpoint and don't pose a particularly large security risk.
7) !! All incoming enclosures will be scanned for viruses prior to posting
to the List. This is done in real time and will not slow down
the process of posting the message !!
Here are some rules for posting enclosures. Failure to abide by these rules could
result in the removal of a subscriber's email address from the Lists.
1) Pay attention to what you are posting!! Make sure that the files
you are enclosing aren't HUGE (greater that 1MB). Remember that there
are still people checking they're email via dial up modem. If you post
30MB worth of pictures, you are placing an unnecessary burden on these
folks and the rest of us, for that matter.
2) SCALE YOUR PICTURES DOWN!!! I don't want to see huge 3000 x 2000
pictures getting posted that are 3 or 4MB each. This is just
unacceptable. Use a program such as Photoshop to scale the picture
down to something on the order of 800 x 600 and try to keep the
file size to less-than 200KB, preferably much less.
Microsoft has a really awesome utility available for free that allows
you to Right-Click on a picture in Explorer and automatically
scale it down and resave it. This is a great utility - get it, use it!

Look for the link "Image Resizer"
3) !! This would seem to go without saying, but I'll say it anyway. Do not
post anything that would be considered offensive by your grandmother.
And you know what I'm saying; I don't want to see anything even
questionable. !!
4) REMEMBER THIS: If you post a 1MB enclosure to a List with 1000 members
subscribed, your 1MB enclosure must be resent 1000 times amounting
to 1MB X 1000 = 1 Gigabyte of network traffic!! BE CAREFUL and BE COURTEOUS!
I hope everyone will enjoy the added functionality of enclosures. Please police
yourself and use good judgement when posting messages with enclosures using
the guidelines I've outlined above.

Matt Dralle
