Thom, I wouldn't describe the Zenith system as "really good". It's adaquate.
The week links in the designare that the arms that actuate the cables running
to the carbs are bothat the right hand side and the friction adjustment
mechanism is a pain. One cable is only about a foot long but the other is
closer to three feet long. Admittedly, once I got mine set up it seems to have
stayed where it was set and haven't noticed any issues with vibrations. After
about 40 hrs and seven months of flying I plan on verifying my carb balance when
I get a chance next week.

Ron,
Zenith has a really good way to avoid the cable splitter entirely. The cockpit
throttle controls directly operate a pivot arm mechanism mounted on the engine
side of the firewall. The arms on the pivot mechanism are rigidly interconnected
to each other and move the carb throttle arms via short straight cables. Much
simpler and less tortuous than long sheathed cables that can start to bind
after many hours years of service.

| Subject: | Pennzoil Air cooled two stroke oil |
Awhile back I posted a request for information about the compatibility of
Pennzoil Air Cooled two stroke oil and Pennzoil Marine two stroke oil. The
question came up again because a customer's airplane with a 582 has Air
Cooled in both the injection and rotary valve reservoirs and my stock of Air
Cooled is nearly gone.
This morning I called Shell's technical hot line (Shell Oil owns the
Pennzoil brand). The answer is, Air Cooled *CANNOT* be mixed with Marine or
any other oil that meets the TC-W3 specs. The additive packages are
incompatible and will cause coagulation. So, the systems have to be purged
of the Air Cooled oil when a change over is made (Air Cooled is no longer
available once stocks are gone, if they aren't already).
So, if you or your customers are using Pennzoil Air Cooled you might want to
start thinking about the necessary service to purge the system(s).

Hi Rick,
The TC-W3 marine oils has always been a bad idea to mix with other oils. If you
use such an oil and you need to add some other oil because you are out or away
from home then you may have a mixing issue. Here is a good 2 stroke oil that
seems to have a vary good track record and engine longevity.

| Subject: | drip tray for 912UL with filters on the carb |
I have decided that I can no longer fly without heat shields on my carbs. Hot
starts are very difficult and I'm afraid it is dangerous. The Amanda Franklin
situation really scares me... though Rotax wasn't involved. My condolences to
her family.
The Rotax diagram indicates that the factory drip pan/heat shields cannot be used
if the air filters are connected directly to the carbs. Is this true? Anyone
with experience?

Hi Ernest,.
It is true they won't fit depending on the type of filter, but the majority do
fit in this category. They protrude too low. It is fairly easy to make a set though
out of some thin gauge steel.

At last I am back in the air. Thank you to all of you who responded to
my question about possible broken wires in the ignition system: I did
not find any. The culprits were the electronic modules which have aged
to the point were they are unable to produce reliable sparks at normal
cranking speed. I replaced one of them (cost me 928 Euros) and the
engine starts very well now.
