We use a very simple system. Simply make up some Bowden cable outers to go from the chokes to the firewall. We then fit a continuous length of inner theat runs...
Hi Doc You have misread the UK manual. A precision restricted T should be used for the return (we use the Skydrive item) the ‘self tapper’ reference was...
Paul, Your posts are always appreciated and I read them all, and usually understand them. However, what is a Bowden cable, and what is "inner theat runs" ? I...
For theat read ‘that’ – fat finger trouble. Bowden cable is just regular control cable that we all use – same stuff as used on bicycles. Invented by an...

Adding to what Paul said about the restrictor , if you do use an on board fuel pressure guage, do not try to do the fuel flow tests with the restrictor in as...
John - This might be obvious but the gauge restrictor MUST be in the supply line to the pressure gauge not in the supply to the carbs. With the restrictor in...
I have reading all the threads with great interest since I am looking for a winter project to improve the throttle mechanism and to have a smoother start on my...
Hello everyone, I have been reading all the messages on chokes, primers, positives, negatives. Here are my thoughts : I installed the dual primer setup...
If you try to prime the engine through the balance tube the engine will shake at start up because you are dumping fuel into only one side of the engine. You...
EUREKA, I have a very simple solution to the fuel return restrictor. Use a 3/4 inch long piece of stainless threaded stock (I cut it from a bolt) the same...
Please see the below. I didn’t get any reply from Polyant, maybe they can only understand German. If anyone can write in German perhaps they would like to...
Jack, Get 'er done, boy! I think I'm just going to fuhget about it. I couldn't find any recommendations in AC 43.13 concerning vapor-lock prevention and nobody...
Why wouldn't one use the choke system built into the carbs? It seems the engineers should know what they're doing and indeed it seems to work quite well. Why...
We fit a vapour lock return because Rotax here recommend it and it is in their installation checksheet. A friend of mine had his brand new Zenair written off...
Paul, I just reviewed the fuel system section of the 912 UL intallation manual. It recommends a coarse filter, water trap, fire cock, pressure gauge and fuel...
While we're on the subject of fuel systems... I noticed that the Rotax manual specifically warns; "Dry type filter elements (paper filter) are not permitted as...
Doc and everyone, I bought a Facet fuel pump and it came with a recommendation for a coarse filter that screws right into the inlet, and cost maybe $3. After...
This is turning into a Skydrive ad, but we use filters from them which are nylon mesh. We also cut them and use them for strainers on the end of the tank dip...
We don’t use a backup pump as standard here. None of the UK trikes have them and we don’t have anymore lift than them, and despite some schools flying over...
Mike, Yes, but when I did the test, I teed off the overflow control valve between the tee to the pressure guage and the guage.Keeping the restrictor in place...

I dont have a problem with paper filters.....If you are using a large clear-plastic filter. I like the big filter we use. You can see water if it collects in...
I especially appreciate the input from Paul correcting my misread! Kudo's to Paul for writing an excellent manual and being there for his (and Doug's)...
Dion, I can agree with your comments about Paul and Doug. However, I, for one, have grown weary of Doc's grumbling, complaining, pissing and moaning. The...
I've been reading this list for over a year now, and I have come to the point where I just take what is useful, contribute where I can, and if I read something...
