| Subject: | Re: High Oil Pressure |
Nailed it. Thank you Roger and all who helped me in my search. What it turned
out to be was the Ground Wire from the Battery to the engine. It read 10 ohms
and when I wiggled it, went to 0 ohms. I puddled solder into the crimp then
took it up for a test. The Oil Pressure was rock solid from 57 to 62 during
a 30 min flight. The other good thing is during my search I found another possible
problem in the suction Oil Line from the Oil Cooler to the engine. It
is the Blue Oil Line they sell and the Radius was 3 inches and had started to
crimp under the firesleeve. I replaced the line and widened out the radius with
some brass fittings. I think I will go to rigid oil lines. Anyway, thanks
to all and the Kitfox/Rotax is an awsome combination.
Rich
