| Subject: | Re: More on ethanol |
I have over 800 hours in last few years with 582 and ethanol gas
fiberglass fuel tanks as well.
no problems yet.
I have 8 other aircraft at my strip that all are 2 strokes and use regular grade
gas with ethanol or what ever the cheapest station sells. No problems yet.

Keep your fingers crossed. You're an exception to the rule. Are you using
any sort of additive?

| Subject: | oozing valve covers |
Hi Guys,
I'm doing a little survey. How many of you with a 912 ul, uls or 914 have one or
more valve covers that ooze oil? Not necessarily a drip, but a little oozing
so when you wipe the bottom of the cover it leaves oil on your finger. You may
not even see it at times or if you have a cowling the high speed air coming
through the cowling just makes a little mess on the belly of the plane. If you
can let me know this info it is going to Rotax.
Thanks,
--------

| Subject: | 200 hour carb inspection for 912 |
hello,
I am preparing for my conditional inspection. I read in the maintenance manual
that at 200 hours:
"Removal/assembly of the 2 carburetors for carburetor inspection (see chapter heavy
MM 73-00-00 section 3.1)"
Is this a complete carb tear-down as outlined in all of section 3 or only the assembly
inspection outlined in section 3.1? Is this a service center only task?

Roger,
I have one valve cover on my 912ULS that leaks a little oil.
Occasionally a drop hits the muffler and we smell it in the cockpit.

Guys,
What does this inspection involve? We can look at the carbs and detect most
issues without complete disassembly. Check the bowl for dirt, look for
leaks, feel sticky needles, etc. Are there any big fall-out-of-the-sky
issues that will occur if we don't remove and fully disassemble the carbs at
200-hours? Disassembly may increase the probability of a failure.
I think most of us simply checks our carbs, make needed fixes, but do not
fully disassemble them at 200 hours.
Les

| Subject: | Re: oozing valve covers |
I asked about this at a Rotax service class I attended in Vernon, B.C.
They said they have a slab of glass that they will use as a flat surface to
lay a piece of fine abrasive paper on and sand the mating surface of the
valve cover.
I have yet to try it.

I have been doing the sanding. Use a piece of 220 grit. Lay the cover flat and
as you sand rotate it. It works some times and sometimes not at all. They now
recommend 105 in/lbs for valve covers verses the old 90 in/lbs and instead of
a dry "O" ring you can use some Loctite 518 or even some Loctite 5910. You don't
need much.
