CTSW You might be able to, but it's far easier to at least swing the engine away from the firewall. During a rubber change you should be changing the engine mount isolators anyway, which requires disconnecting the ring mount from the firewall mount.

Tom Baker Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 I have done hose changes without removing the engine, but not on a CT. In my opinion it will take less time to do the hose change with removing the engine. Also like Andy said you can't replace the engine isolators without removing it.

Jim Meade Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 Hose job? Maybe. Rubber job? No. You are not changing the hoses. You are changing the rubber. Just for starters, that includes the fuel pump, the carburetor sockets and the engine isolators. From Rotax-Owners forum, "The Rotax 5 year rubber replacement covers all fuel, oil and coolant lines. It covers any V-belt, carburetor diaphragm and carburetor rubber intake sockets and any other air intake rubber hose or tubing. With the new maintenance manual just out the fuel pump has been added as a replacement item too." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTSW I have done it both ways on my CTSW. Removal is not difficult and it allows for replacement of engine isolators. I did my engine removal at the 2nd replacement (10 years) and did not see any visible evidence that the isolators needed to be replaced. Replaced them anyway of course.

Roger Lee Posted Tuesday at 02:23 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 02:23 PM I used to completely remove the engine. Now I do all the hoses I can without removing the engine. Then when I get to the point I need to get to the engine mounts or a hose on the back of the firewall I just swing it out about 18" from the left side. Works just fine and the hose change is easier and quicker and you still get to the engine mounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
procharger Posted 9 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 9 hours ago If you pull engine away from firewall that to me is removing the engine just my 2 cents Maybe not to some people LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way he describes doesn't require disconnecting all of the wiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Lee Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago I don't completely remove. I just swing it outward from the left side. I do disconnect a couple of wire on the right side, but most of the right side all stays connected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
