Subject: Re: RotaxEngines-List: reverse prop rotation at shut down

Ricardo,
 Thanks for your reply.
 I have checked the "P" leads with an ohmmeter and they check good. A  bore 
scope revealed nothing abnormal in the cylinders. 
 I let the engine idle for a minute or two prior to shutdown in order  to 
cool any "hot spots"
 Most of the time I don't have this reverse problem. It is a once in  
awhile thing usually related to higher engine rpm at shutdown when I am not  
focusing on it.
 This is kind of similar to the on going problem of a friend's  Paradise 
P-1. His engine has a vibration at cruise rpm that we can't "nail down"  We 
have gone thru the carbs,engine mounts,airframe,rebuilt gearbox twice,changed 

the prop,plugs,.....etc. The "ghost in the machine" I guess. 
 I can live with my problem as it is controllable but that constant  
vibration at cruise would drive me nuts !
