I tried to start the Engine and it turned over like all the plugs were missing. Five minutes later I had compression and it ran fine. What's the deal??? Does it have something to do with the slipper clutch??? Could this happen when I'm flying??? I sure could use some help here.

I'm thinking if it is a late model perhaps the hydraulics to the valves had lost pressure.

As often as we change oil filters (50 hours for 91 octane and 25 hours for 100LL) the Pure One, Fram, Mobile One and the Rotax are all good filters. I just believe for the money Pure One is a stand out. Remember we pay for the Euro exchange, shipping rates and middle men to get a Rotax filter. Hence the $20+ price tag. In this case the extra $15 per filter does not equate to better. If you fly an SLSA then you must use a Rotax filter unless your plane's Mfg. says you can use something else. -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az.
