    Hi George, My 912 was exhibiting the same symptoms. Finally tightened all the hose clamps and problem was solved. No sign of a leak on the ground, but that was what was wrong in this case. Worth a try if you have't gone there already regards Geoff Bell Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p 5665#205665

    Keep in mind that Rotax will simply not provide guidance on Honda products, good bad or otherwise since the are a competitor in motor and related products. Honda oil might be fine, but you will use it at your own risk -------- Ira N224XS Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p 5691#205691

    I'll pick up some Alcor or Decalin Runup Fuel Additive to help clean out the top end. I was hoping there was a similar product to add to the crankcase oil. I don't know what to do about the bottom end except use semi synthetic oil and change it every ten hours or so the first few times.

    Subject: carb socket replacement
    From: "cristalclear13" <cristalclearwaters@gmail.com>
    I've attached a couple pictures of one of my carb sockets (notice the small cracks). One guy has told me that I need to replace it now and another guy has told me that it has lots of time left on it and that I'll know when I need to replace it. But I'm new to this and I don't know. It's not the best picture because it was getting dark on me when I took it tonight. What do you guys think? I've got the replacement carb sockets, so perhaps I should just go ahead and change them. I bought the plane when it had about 25 hours on the engine and now it is at 50 hours. I don't know if they put new carb sockets on with the new engine, so I don't know how long it's been on there. The front carb socket doesn't have cracks like the back one. If I change them out should I just go ahead and change both at the same time or wait on the front one until it gets cracks in it? BTW I have a Rotax 503 DCSI. -------- Cristal Waters Mark II Twinstar Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p 5867#205867 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/dscf0016_205.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/dscf0015_367.jpg

    - Cristal- Change them.- Cracks only get worse, and you can't visually tell how much time you have left.- Same thing goes for tires, hoses, etc. - It,s called "checking", or dry rot.- I think ozone does it. - The Lockwood book should give the change schedule for it. - ------------------------- ----------------------- Bill Sullivan
