The reason I ask is that the procedures are different, air in the system or not The best thing is to watch the video on the ROAN site Kevin On 8/25/11, Fergus Kyle wrote: > I have a print-out from Steve Hagar , date unknown, regarding the procedure > given by Eric Tucker from Kodiak Research who gives the 3-day seminar/class. > 1 Drain engine/tank > 2 Fill filter half full, don't put on > 3 3 litres oil in tank > 4 Turn prop till oil comes out of oil filter base boss. > > At this point, I fail.

It's all right. First the new Rotax oil filter can not be pre-filled any more. See the new blog on the Rotax owner site. Second turning the prop the 35-40 times only will pre-fill the oil filter on the new filters. On an old one that is half filled that should get you a little oil return, but don't get too hung up up that. The oil system at times on our system can lie to you. Trust in yourself. If you have done what you stated above then go start the engine and check for oil pressure, let it run a few minutes then shut it down and check the oil. If you used your three qts. It should be at the top of the dip stick. One last comment. Never turn the prop if the oil tank is empty or the oil filter is off. If you do you just earned the opportunity to do an oil purge. -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az. Light Sport Repairman - Maintenance Rated Rotax Repair Center - Heavy Maint.
