Subject: RotaxEngines-List: Variable Oil Pressure Reading
From: "JohnF" <n29cx@ridgeviewtel.us>


I just changed the oil lines on the Rotax in my RV-12 and now see oil pressure
varying from 33 psi to 60 psi. I moves around like that in flight.

I wonder if air is in the oil line to the oil pressure sensor...if so how to check
and bleed it out since it goes to a 'dead-end' at the sensor.

Best I can think of is to open that line and let oil run out and quickly replace
the oil line to the sensor in the hope that the air bubble will be gone

Your ideas?
