| Subject: | Re: Starter blowing a fuse |
Thank you all for the help. George, the installation is not new. This
problem just came up a few days ago. The starter has not been
inspected and I will have him check all ground connections.
Not sure when the fuse blows, after the ring engages or immediately.
I will need to get more precise information from my friend before we
can isolate the cause for the problem.
When I have more information, I will write again.
Best regards,
Johann G
Iceland.

I ran into the same thing and eliminated the problem by not filling the oil
tank to the high level mark. Changing the filter may have dropped the oil
level just enough to accomplish the same thing but like you I changed
senders and filters and got the same results. My pressure would indicate
little spikes on the needle and eventually just peg the thing. I have to
admit it was a little unnerving the first time I glanced at my gage and saw
the needle pegged. I thought sure I spun a bearing but the oil temps stayed
steady.

I seem to have a new problem after the last oil change. At startup, warm-up
and takeoff it is a steady 69-72. After about 15 Min's in the air it starts
fluctuating from 79-92. It was even higher (99), with the Rotax oil filter.
I changed to an after-market and it came down about 10 lbs. I checked the
Oil Sender connections. The engine is running great otherwise so I'm not
sure whats wrong. Any Ideas? Thanks
Rich

Thanks for the reinforcement Dave. I was going to order a pressure sender tomorrow
but will hold off for now. I don't like changes that occur without reason.
I use the EIS so all my readouts are digital and it really jumps around after
15 minutes or so. Otherwise it is rock solid and runs cool and smooth. I
can't help but think its instrumentation. (I hope so). If I find out anything
else, Ill post it. thanks again
Rich
