Antonio,
I think it would be worth your time to read the list archives. The list
is very small and everything has been talked about in great detail.
After getting the history then you may have specific questions.
A short list might be this;
- get the dual ignition
- make sure the upper right(?) engine mount is a newer design
- ask for a "short" starter so the throttle springs can be setup to
pull-"on"
- send the heads to RAM for upgrade (stepped valve guides)
- wire a redundant battery supply for the second ignition
- relieve the secondary ignition bracket of the sharp inside corners or
it may end up cracking
- setup the belt tension for 1/4" play at the prop tips when cold
- anything else?
- a 72" Warp Drive 3-blade square tip ground adjustable has worked well
for many people.
- it consumes just under 4 gallons/hr at slow cruise, 5-6 at high cruise
- there are a lot flying and it has been a very reliable and economical
engine for most people. I have been very happy with mine.

Hello to all, I present myself, my name is Antonio Beneytez and
finishing of
build a Zenair 601HD in Madrid Spain, after a lot to look for engine is
almost resolved to mount a subaru Stratus 2000 and I would like to know
if
you have had some problem with this motor and as solving it. I would
also
like to know the benefits that he has the airplane with this motor like:
consumptions, wheight, speeds stall and of cruise that distances it
travels
before the take off, etc.
That propeller is the most appropriate?
Is there some problem with the ignition?
