I'm glad that I posted this problem on the Rotax Forum. Paul Mitchell, the Tecnam
dealer in the UK had the perfect fix for my issue. Paul was coming to SNF
and parcel posted it to me when he got here. I received it the next day and
went out to the airport and replaced the stock one with it.
Ain't it great how folks like Paul will go out of their way to accommodate those
of us in the builder community?

Hi Craig,
I uploaded a picture with the post. You may have to go to the forums.matronics
website in order to see it. It was sort of a big picture. What they did was
take a piece of flat stock and some tubing and make a ninety degree El (is that
redundant?).
The picture is too big and your email server may have stripped it out.
Let me know if you still can't see it on the matronics site and I will email a
smaller version to you.

Got it, thanks. I wonder how the rest of the world solves the problem.
Wouldn't anyone with the ring mount need a similar solution?

I would think so. Someone said Rotax said to rotate the inlet neck and thread
the hose in front of the Ring Mount. That wouldn't work in my situation.
Oh well....

| Subject: | Question about High EGTs on a 912 |
Well, the winds calmed down a little and there was no rain yesterday, so I
went flying to see if using a single mag had caused the high EGTs last week.
You guys were right! Under similar conditions (OAT, RPM, Altitude) where I
had experienced 1620F-degree EGTs using one mag, the EGT temps were reading
about 100-degrees lower with both mags.
Glad I don't have to tear into the carbs. Thanks for the advice guys.

Les.
Been there done that, running on one module will increase the EGT. You can
bet on it.

Subject: RotaxEngines-List: Question about High EGTs on a 912
After flying my Zenith 701 w/a Rotax 912ULS a few hundred miles at 5100 RPM
yesterday I noticed an EGT problem. Toward the end of the flight, with OAT
about 65F at 2000', the EGTs started creeping up to 1620F (the maximum
allowed temp) on one exhaust and about 1590F on the other. It dropped when I
reduced RPM to 4000 or raised it to 5500RPM.
When I noticed this, I looked around. After getting my head out of a clouds,
I also noticed the engine was running on a single mag. I am hoping that this
was the cause of the overheating, although I don't understand why this
should be so.
It's going to be raining here (in N. California) for a few days. Since I
can't fly to check out if running on both mags will bring the EGTs down, I
was wondering if anyone in Rotax land had an opinion about whether running
on a single mag could causing the high EGTs. If you don't think running on
a single mag caused the problem, and you have seen this before, I could use
advice as to how to proceed before tearing the carbs apart.
When I can fly again, I'll report if the mag issue was the culprit here.
