He only needed a tooth count. I know the 700e and 700t use different ratios but he may be able to supply a drive gear and driven gear in 700 e ratio anyway. Otherwise I can flog it off for parts. It's only something to play with.

Waiting on the agent in America to get back to me. He is going to see if he has the gear. Being a turbo there are quite a few differences to the na version which he has everything for.

never seen so much wiring for a small engine, weighs a few kilos on its own.

tryed to turn over the hks today and it was locked solid. seems it came out of a wreck i thought i better pull the gearbox and have a look. its not too healthy. broken reduction gear. interesting thing is it has a slipper clutch, didn't save the gear though.

who cares that you could make a 1920s car backfire. i used to have respect for you but not after the shit you said about me earlier. accusing me of being on here with different names.
-
please stick to aircraft or find a car forum
-
people say its dangerous for 9 series rotax to have carbys mounted on top of the engine yet when do you ever hear of any catching fire. about as often as you hear about them back firing.
-
heard of the memphis belle. i will call the xair the taco bell
-
there are lots of 618s around, still a lot flying now. i thought you worked on most aircraft engines. they have 2 different carbys. good for 1000 hrs plus flown by the book . crankshaft breakage probably happened with cold siezure, not a common problem.

For the Rotax 618 UL, the main jets typically differ between the PTO and MAG carburetors, with common stock settings being #135 (PTO) and #145 (MAG), though these can change with altitude, intake silencers, or specific setups, with larger jets (like #160/#170) often needed at lower altitudes or with silencers to prevent running too lean, a common issue for this engine. Key Jetting Information Standard/Altitude > 5000ft: #135 (PTO) & #145 (MAG). Sea Level/With Silencer: #160 (PTO) & #170 (MAG). Why Different Sizes? The 618 uses two different carburetors, and they require different fuel flows for optimal performance,

Surprised you haven't heard of that before. It's well known . My egts both run around 600
-
My 618 had the intake silencer box removed. They had to rejet the carbs to allow for the change in restriction. Interesting thing with 618 is the main jets are a different size in each carb.

Any filter can block up. That's called maintenance. When you change or wash them at required intervals.
-
I only have one alias which is my real name. How does it help safety when you come on here talking crap about 2 mt backfires and saying we are using filters not fit for purpose when they are designed for Rotax and have a part number for each model. Aren't you the same bloke who defended finemores dragging a trailer for 65km with all the tyres blown . Look at yourself before you make up stories about others.
-
i haven't made judgement of you. just pointed out you can be guilty of exactly what you accuse us of. but i do agree things can come across as agressive when that is not the intention, keyboards don't convey emotion very well. i am guilty of pulling your chain, only because you bite so well. i will try and stop doing it. but everything you said about that gyro was wrong. (sorry i slipped back into my old ways😁)

you are the only one that said we use motorbike filters. k&n supplie filters for all rotax aero engines. or K&N air filters suitable for Rotax engines, consider the following options: K&N Universal Air Filters: Available in round, tapered, and oval designs, these filters fit various applications, including Rotax engines. 1 Specific Models: K&N SP 2705 and K&N SP 2703 are designed for the Bing 54 carburetor used on Rotax 503 and 532 engines, respectively. 1 Maintenance: K&N air filters can be cleaned and re-oiled, making them reusable when dirty. 1 Service Tips: Regular servicing is recommended every 6 months or 50 hours of airtime, especially in dirty conditions. 1 For more detailed specifications and purchasing options, you can visit the respective links provided in the results

Crosswind at La Salette (French Alpine grass strip)
BrendAn replied to Garfly's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
worked with a shotcrew boss once that had been fifo cairns to the new guinea highlands somewhere. he had been in 24 runway excursions over his time there. touchdown and slide into the bush or off the strip. sometimes a meter of rain a day. -
Can you please post a list of requirements for a post to be satisfactory for you. You are bullying moneybox . There is no need to carry on at him the way you have on this thread. And look at the replies you posted to me yesterday about that gyro. I think you need to man up and apologise for your behaviour.
-
The only input you want to hear is your own. It's ok for you to joke when you feel like it. Take a chill pill
-
Now I am worried I am going to be flying through a sandstorm belching out 2 mt flames.😁
-
K&n filters are good quality as far as I know.
-
You do realise they have layers of cotton between the mesh outer layers.
-
Lucky they are in a clean environment .would you prefer a Donaldson cyclone hanging off the side.🤣
-
Cone air filters are used a lot on Rotax . They would be spark arrestors as well. If your aeroplane is shooting out 2 mt flames you might want to do a tune up😁

I needed a high performance endorsement for the red one because red is 10 percent faster than other colours. Look at any Ferrari.
