| Subject: | coolant pump leak |
I am wondering if any of you have ever found a leak coming from the coolant
pump? My 912 has been in an unheated hangar this winter for the first time,
and there is a small puddle on the floor, traced back to the small openings
on the bottom of the pump at the rear of the engine. This has never leaked
when the engine is running. Anyone seen this kind of seepage before? Have
any of you replaced this pump or the seal before? In the maintenance manual
it looks pretty difficult, and I think I would have to pull the engine
(ugh!)

| Subject: | Long term storage for the Rotax 912 |
Hello all,
I am going to be working overseas for about 18 months and need to prep my Rotax
912S mounted on a Zenith 701 for long term hanger storage. I am sure this has
been covered before...can anyone point me to a link for accomplishing these tasks?
Specific hints or tips from your experiences would also be appreciated.
Sources for materials, techniques, etc.

Jack,
The seals on the pump shaft are gone. Go to my Europa build gallery (URL in the
signature block). At the lower right of the first page is an album on the Lockwood
9xx school. Click on it. Go to the second page of the album and at the
upper right is a picture of the coolant pump. Second picture down on the left
is a picture of the bottom of the pump with description and commentary about
the picture. Unfortunately, the school did not cover what to do about the
bad seals other than say replacement of the pump or seals were necessary. I'd
recommend you check with your closest Rotax shop and see what they recommend.
Perhaps one of the Rotax heavy maintenance folks can provide some guidance?

Gents,
Sorry about that, the organization of the Europa Owners web site has been changed.
Go to http://www.europaowers.org/ . From there select "Gallery 2" from the bar in the upper right. Select the 5th gallery down, N914XL and from there as per previous instructions.
Guess I'll have to change the URL in the signature block...
Check six,

Unless you have had the Heavy maint. school you may not want to tackle the water
pump seal.

| Subject: | Re: Bing 54 flooding only 1 cylinder - where is the |
dirt lodged?
Unfortunately it wasn't my choke after all. It's still running rich somehow.
The float needle looks good, the enrichening circuit is not it (it's sealed tight
after all even tho it was a little weak but the springs are better now so
that's not it).
I have inspected the mixture screw and have cleaned out that hole with compressed
air. What other places can dirt hide to cause a rich mixture? What am I missing?

Are you sure that the attachment bolt has not rotted? There was a
service letter to replace the one that is in contact with the cooling
fluid.

3300
Has anyone compared the installed "wet" weight of a Rotax 912 ULS to a
Jabiru 3300, and if so, can you give me an approximate weight difference?
Thanks,
