Hallett III" Subject: RotaxEngines-List: Re: RotaxEngines-List Digest: 1 Msgs - 10/09/10 I have a problem. Ordered a new pump from Leading edge and found the new one stands 1/2" taller than the previous one. Thus it won't fit under the cowl. Is there another pump? The original was from 2001 on my 912s and started leaking fuel out the holes in the back of the pump as I burped the engine. The fuel was shut off at tanks, so it was just the clearing the fuel in the lines. Has anyone seen a pump do this? Did I damage the pump by pumping against the shut off fuel system? Thanks...

Subject: RotaxEngines-List: coolant leak 582 My newly serviced 582 has a coolant leak and I'm looking for input. The leak comes out right at the drain port for the water pump, but does not appear to come through the drain. I'm having a hard time to locate it exactly. It's a fairly large leak and should be easier to pin down but the number of surfaces coming together at this point is hampering my ability to see clearly. In this image you are looking at a screen capture of the top case, there is no corresponding hole in the bottom case. I have checked the crankcases and the oil from the cross-shaft compartment and found no coolant. I'm hoping the water pump cover is leaking but I'm curious about the hole indicated, which also comes out in the same area. Is this hole connected in any way to the water jacket? Is the any source of coolant here except the cover leaking on the water pump? Any experiance you can share will be helpful as I am not keen to split the case looking for this leak. ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 03:32:21 PM PST US From: "Dave G" Subject: Re: RotaxEngines-List: coolant leak 582 Sorry, the arrow didn't make it. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dave G.
