Replacing that cured it.

So I also installed a Snap Vent (3.25") right above the latch mechanism. Gobs of air fill the cockpit. I still seem to smell engine exhaust, but the CO card stayed orange, not even hesitating to change color. That confuses me. With all the vents closed, the usual vacuum suction at the canopy base is gone. I think because the canopy causes the cockpit to be low pressure, it tries to suck air into the plane to try to equalize the cabin pressure. Even with the vents closed, the CO never got into changing color. Yet I could still smell exhaust. Either way, with this new vent, it vacates the cockpit air within seconds, so even if I had high CO, I could just flush with the snap vent and start over. I'm ok with it now since it didn't register any CO. I doubled the firewall sealing that was there previously. Hoping that next I can figure out a bellow for the nose wheel rods. CO DEFINITELY comes in there. Other then that, the only issue I had today was that my fancy Chinese made hole saw left the hole 1/16" too large, so the snap vent flops around in the hole. Now to figure out that "issue" next. Great plane though! Just awesome! I flew with a 701 with an 80hp Rotax a few weeks back, and it does 70mph cruise. Slowed the Zodiac down to that speed @ 3500rpm and wow, that's really slow. Such a HUGE speed difference once you feel it in person. I was shocked. Random thought off track..... Sorry. Lol. -------- C-GYXQ. 912ULS. 601XL-B Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=405750#405750 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message zenith601-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Zenith601-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/zenith601-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/zenith601-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.
