Runtoeat Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Hi Roger. An important forum for those who use or own something with a Rotax engine. This is where I got good info and specs on my carbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airhound Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 "Luck, Friends, and a cool head....great story....Who did all the tear down and maintenance? If I was lucky to land safely.....I'd be hurting for maintenance capability to go through it like you did and find the problem. And why does just one exhaut lifter face give way out of the entire fleet?? Surprised it wasn't a batch of them resulting in a SA.... thanks for sharing and congrats!" ROGER, my above respnse is from the 'Winning the Rotex Engine Lottery Blog'.....What's your guess.....How can only one out of thousands of lifter faces...just give way...??? Shouldn't we have heard, not that I want to, but wouldn't it affect A particular LOT of them....and bringeth forth a SA......for a range of engine SN#s...?

Roger Lee Posted October 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Hi Doug, It's just like anything else, the surface coating on the lifter just failed. Rotax told me it only happens to 1-2 planes world wide per year. It doesn't happen in batches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airhound Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Hi Roger, General question: Does anything bad happen if the engine is shut down at higher than throttle stop RPM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
