McMenamin)
Andrew
Had exactly the same problem with the 63 mm diameter airbox inlet and the 61 mm
diameter offset outlet on the K&N filter in my 701 with a 912ULS engine. Stay
with the 63 mm duct tube and go visit the hardware store and look for a rubber
or plastic tube end insert that will take car of the difference in the airfilter
end. Take the airfilter with you to be able to test on site. Your duct tube
is able to accomodate some mismatch, but the 63/61 mm difference is simply
a little too much. Tighten a good jubilee clip over the doubled tube-end and you
are ready to fly...

> Hi List
> We have recently purchased a Zenith XL 601 with Rotax 912 ULS. The air filter
> is a standard Rotax circular filter PN 825 711 with an off-centre mounting for

> filter opening with a large "Jubilee" worm drive hose clamp. This clamp distorts
> the circular air filter opening as it tightens, resulting in the tube
> and the clamp potentially slipping off.
> This does not seem a good design to me. I would have expected an adapter of
some

Hi
Sorry to hear about your health problems

now Don't believe any thing is selling Do you have any photos of the 601
and what price are you asking for it
Thanks Don

Subject: Zenith601-List: How do you sell a project?
How do you go about selling a home built project? For health
considerations there is no longer any reason for me to continue
construction of an aircraft that I will never fly. Several local
builders have suggested that I part it out but it took me five years to
get to where I am now and I don't have the heart to take it apart. I
briefly offered it for sale on Barnstormers last year but when my
prognosis improved I took it off Barnstormers and went back to work on
it. Now it seems I must try to move it again. I had almost no reaction
to my ad on Barnstormers and am really not impressed with with that
format. Anybody got any ideas?
Thanks
