				John F,
 
 Once you break open the oil system (such as to replace oil hoses) on a Rotax 
 Engine you introduce the possibility of entrapped air if you do not vent or 
 "purge" the system after refilling the system with new oil per the Rotax 
 instructions in their engine installation manual. You should not operate the 
 engine until the system has been vented. See instructions on page 36 of the 
 installation manual Edition 2 of 1997 03 26 or later editions.
