An oil check after shut down registers the level well below the lower limit marker. If I hand turn the prop (40 turns ) the oil level will come back up, although I don't seem to be able to get it to "gurgle" anymore. If it is left without starting up after winding the oil out of the tank by hand turning prop, it will stay at that level till next flight. Oil pressure seems to be the same, about 2.5 indicated, and still is up at 4 at startup, so that seems fine. Logically it suggests the scavenger system is not operating satisfactorily, but I don't know how it works. Question is has anyone had this issue, and is it serious! cheers Geoff Bell Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=384824#384824 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message rotaxengines-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/RotaxEngines-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/rotaxengines-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/rotaxengines-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
