  1. Tried everything but I think it may be the right carby bowl leaking noticed fuel wet on the outside so l guess on full boost it may be loosing some air pressure which I guess would throw the engine way out of balance as those cylinders would be lacking some fuel , previous owner has overtighned the bowl ,apparently a common problem, now I have to figure how to fix it, maybe some sealer any ideas

     

    q 1 does this aircraft have return line from carby to main tank q2 what is the part number on the fuel pump q3 have the fuel lines been recently replaced q4 what do you mean by common problem apparently for crist sake find a l2 that knows what he is doing before you kill your self blunt enough neil

     

     

  2. mcrowley personally I know that some off the smell off fuel in the cabin is through neglect of following the instalation manual from rotax as there is no return line to the tank

     

    the excess fuel is drained out onto the exhaust there for making fumes into cabin disregard the rotax installation manual at your own peril neil

     

     

  3. Not one brass bush 8 brass bushes and 7 out of 8 have visible wear. We cant understand the mindset of the person who was responsible ( irresponsible might be better) but there ya go, i have theories on this but i cannot discuss them here. There might be some official investigtion , after all this is a maintenance incident that could have had serious consequences

     

    B.

     

    might be official investigation good luck with that they will send out blind fredy to do that neil

     

     

  4. according the power at the top these sort off repairs don't happen in ga or raa

     

    as I have stated before if you do not follow rotax manuals installation service repair you are on your own

     

    rotax put out these manuals so as to cover there own arse had your air craft killed or maimed some one you have lost

     

    I feel that these sort off repairs have to have more accountability for the sake off saving lives screem blue bloody murder

     

    oh sxxx don't waste your time telling raa or casa tell the shxx house door

     

    pss hey facthunter while I'm here can you find out where the letter is from rotax saying that persons have aurthourization to alter the installation manual for rotax 912 motors

     

    searched but I cant find neil

     

     

  5. this story cant be true what some have answered not having radio bloody well read my first post 23 I now carry second radio

     

    a plane crashed several years ago radio was being repaired not lot off damage

     

    had radio installed and working would have been found in mutch better health

     

    bit like making ELB mandatory it should have been before take off

     

    not after x amount off distance so the plane must be ok until that distance what planet are the safety experts so called experts on neil

     

     

  6. CASA rep has known about the none compliance off rotax 912 motors for a number of years

     

    raaas the same amount off time of none compliance for rotax 912 motor installation

     

    in this time the number off accidents is great now when I asked about this non compliance told to fix plane forget about that you don't need it

     

    have you ever looked into this problem I asked

     

    no need to they turned the wrong tap off or didn't switch on lift pump

     

    prove to me and flying members beyond doubt that this is in no way a cause off a couple off accidents

     

    when the judges are not told and i feel that this systemic problem off none compliance as is being as wide spread as it is

     

    it is off course not only one type off aircraft what is the valid reason none compliance to not do as the installation manual reads

     

    is it litigation time any body got a spare half mill ops neil

     

    pss kasper the none return valve is vital in a high wing aircraft as it will have syphon effect neil

     

     

  7. who would want factual data

     

    fact 1 people are getting killed

     

    fact 2 the rouge element off our industry is killing people

     

    fact 3 I am bloody well concerned and doing something about it

     

    fact 4 sit on your arse and do nothing will cost

     

    fact 5 prove that that my statement is wrong when it has been demonstrated that aircraft do not comply

     

    fact 6 I personally know off air craft used that did not comply and used in flying school

     

    cover ups have to stop end it now

     

    oh there is a mistake in post 11 neil

     

     

  8. This was clearly explained to me during a rotax maintenance course.

     

    downunder would you care to explain who told you or gave that advice ?

     

    As partly explained by kasper rotax do a lot of work to give you a fairly reliable power plant so some xxxxxxxx can tell you that you don't have to abide by the manual

     

    would save rotax heaps if they did not have to write manuals

     

    carby's are meant to inject a certain amount off fuel at specific ratio to air should the pressure off fuel be to great this has a dentramental effect on the motor in effect you will lose power

     

    example pull out the choke what happens

     

    fuel pumps are set to around 3.5 to 4.00 bars at 4000 to 4200 rpm buy increasing the rpm you will increase the flow from a manual pump to carby bowl

     

    Increased preasure will have to go some where so with out return line to tank it flows out the overflow tubes on to a hot exhaust to evaporate

     

    the explosive nature off evaporated fuel ( leave that for a latter lesson ) static elec is part of oh leave it

     

    Now not only does it flow out overflow tubes on to hot exhaust the fuel is forced into the engine there for making 90% off pilots assume the motor has a malfunction

     

    Now don't try to say that the needle and seat should stop the flow from the pump as at 7 bars now way in hell

     

    how do I know that is what the pressure reached in my plane new carby kit

     

    now both off our powers off safety have

     

    Do not put the return line just before the gasculator as one person was told to do by a so called expert as hot fuel does not work to well when it vaporisers that is also the reason that the return line will go to tank

     

    got the message yet

     

    neil

     

     

  9. oh shieet no radio lost al contact oh well on the ground we go landed next paddock taxie to gate shut down

  10. thank you kasper thank you I love you shows just how well some don't read rotax manuals

     

    or the great protector off our industry regulator mad casa who cant read their own regulations

     

    so the aircraft that do not follow rotax installation will be grounded

     

    This was clearly explained to me during a rotax maintenance course.so you don't have to take notice casa regs

     

    casa regulations clearly state that the manufactures instalation manual will be followed

     

    My aircraft came from the factory (24) with no carb return. Runs fine, as do many others

     

    xxx first replace off new carby kit 50 hrs second carby kit 80 hrs no return line yet manual shows return line

     

    who did the rotax maintenance cannot read his or her manual witch has clearly stated since 1997 that all rotax 912 power plants will have return line to tank

     

    No doubt other acft mfg's do things differently as is their prerogative

     

    no way can you change a installation manual written by a mfg show this paper work that gives you the aurthoirty and print on here even mad casa cannot do it

     

    microman one word yes as I said I am 90 % sure that some did not follow the rules and died we all paid for it neil
