    i have never had a problem getting claims approved. i have to have insurance being in business. last year my premium went from 9000 to 15000 a year after one of drivers turned into toorak rd with a crane stabiliser hanging out 1.5 mts. straight into a lexus and pushed that into a new kia.

    i think you need to use it for a while. then you might get used to it. glad i don't have a vernier setup. they belong on a stationary engine i reckon. i know a lot of ac have them though. easy to fit is about the only reason surely.

    You said yourself they are very reliable so air cooled cylinders obviously work fine. But the zonshen 912 has full water cooling so they might have seen that as an area for improvement.

    Don't think they will fit a 912.😁

    I did to.

    Seriously if you don't like you don't need to say anything. Other people might enjoy it.

    its weird, i fly in that area quite a bit but i always go around that farm. it feels disrespectful to fly over it for some reason.

    True, some people in high altitude regions run cables to operate them manually. I flick the plastic covers off occasionally and work them by hand . Although running amsoil full synthetic should stop carbon build up.

    A couple of paragraphs off a gyro forum. Shows all models can break cranks. Gyros are pretty hard on 2 strokes. Driven flat out all the time.

    Pretty rare I think. Rotax rick reckons they were the best of the Rotax 2 smokes. Detuned from 135 HP in the snow mobile version. I have spoken to a few people that have never had an issue. I think if they are looked after and operated by the book should be good like most engines.

    This is why I started the thread. Trying to understand how they use 30 percent less fuel without leaning the engine out too much. Oil injection should be ok when oil is injected after the carby.

    The book says 7000ax on climb out so it has been setup pretty well but I would like to pull it back a bit as long as egt stay within range.

    He was quoting what I said. Read the earlier posts

    My 618 is pretty close to that. Just under 7000 rpm flat out on climb. I have been thinking of giving it a bit more pitch. So I get around 6600 on climb and bring cruise back to around 5800. Egt around 600 now.

    A side question, what are your static and climb out rpm set too on the 582.

    I have never had trouble with them either but it doesn't hurt to look at new options . They might be as good as they say or they might not.

    That is just a collection of comments off different forums. I have already come across some of them. Smartcarb actually list light aircraft and paramotors as suitable for it. Chat gtp doesn't realise Rotax have never made a certified 2 stroke aircraft engine. It's a big f##king warning in your operating manual and service manual. The comment about not going to full throttle when the cable breaks could be fixed with a spring. That one came from a know all on an American forum who could not think of anything else. It's the lubrication that concerns me.

    That's not true. It's how efficient the engine is. Modern injected 2 stroke outboards use a fraction of the fuel the old ones did for the same horsepower. Same with trucks and a lot of cars.

    There claim is superior atomisation that sets them apart from bing carbs.

    I like oil injection. Because I mostly run on av gas. No Mogas at West sale. I only top up the oil tank every 5 or 6 engine hours. I was using Jerry cans with 200ml of oil mixed in until I was sure the injection pump was drawing oil out of the tank. I like the idea of the smart carb saving fuel but as stated above I can't get my head around leaning out a 2 stroke. Unless 25 to 30 percent is going out the exhaust unburnt.
  24. BrendAn
    reading a couple of reviews i found , they said they saved fuel but how would it effect a 2 stroke with 30% less oil. as i said above the fuel injected 2 strokes pump oil to the critical areas .
