It is what is used in the Predato r aircraft. If I bought a used 914 it would help to get a history on the en gine. =0AIf it has had a long life of 100LL then it probably needs a valve job and have the seats reamed. You can not do a valve job like a car. The v alves are armored. (too hard). Valves need replacement, the seats can be re -worked.=0AHave you done a compression test. This may tell a more complete story.=0A=0AAll this said this can be hard to diagnose over email.=0A=0A--- -----=0ARoger Lee=0ATucson, Az.=0ALight Sport Repairman - Maintenance Rated =0ARotax Repair Center=0A520-574-1080=0A=0A=0A=0A=0ARead this topic online here:=0A=0Ahttp://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=277365#277365=0A - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Matt Dralle, List ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message rotaxengines-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/RotaxEngines-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/rotaxengines-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/rotaxengines-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
