And as you said the SU carbs are very close in function to the Bings. When I went through Rotax school at Lockwood we tore down the Bing carb and reassembled it. The Bing has more parts but its function is almost identical to the SU so it was easy to correlate.

Been using car type metal\paper filters since 1995, ethanol blend for at least 5 years. I change them yearly and cut them open for inspection. The old filters are like new except for a slight discolouring of the paper element. Never found any foreign matter or deterioration. Since using ethanol I never get even a drop of water from my drains. I believe the ethanol absorbs any small amount of condensation inside the system. Yearly inspection of the carbs is also pristine. As someone has mentioned on the list, water will go through a paper filter. I had the experience in my pickup when the filler tube rusted and it took a while to locate the hole under a protective rubber sleeve. I removed a fair bit of water from the carb before I found the problem and yes the filter did start to breakdown after a couple of weeks of contact with water. Lesson if you find water in your system, change the filters and clean out the carbs, lines and tanks Carl Do not archive ----- Original Message ----- From: Tom463@aol.com To: rotaxengines-list@matronics.com Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2009 8:28 AM Subject: RotaxEngines-List: Re: RotaxEngines-List Digest: 16 Msgs - 01/14/09 Perhaps I didn't explain the issue correctly; I'm not talking about temperature or moisture having an effect on the paper fuel filters. I would like to know if anyone has had an issue with Ethanol enhanced fuel causing the paper filters to become partially or totally clogged. ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 09:15:14 PM PST US Subject: RotaxEngines-List: Re: Bing Carbs From: "Roger Lee" Hi Scott, The price for the rebuild kit ($214) is for the pair and my price ($50) is for the pair. -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az.
