Rotax 582 Replacing Rotary Valve Hoses Advice/Tips


Turbo_Boss

Recommended Posts

Hello Guys,

 

I need to replace the Rotary Valve hoses that goes to the small tank reservoir. One of them has a crack and eaven that is no leaking, I want to replace both.

 

One RV hose run on the back of the magnetos plate and I have to remove that plate/bracket in order to have access to the clamp were is atached.

 

That plate/bracket is attached to the engine by four screws............ Two of does upper screws also hold the water outlet socket in his place so I will be carefull when removing does 2 screws.

 

So here are the questions:

 

Do the 2 remaining lower plate/bracket screws hold something else that the Magnetos plate? Or I just go ahead and remove them.

 

Any advise on doing this work? Do I need to remove something else to have access to that clamp/hose?

 

BTW, this Rotax 582 is a grey head, is top mounted on a Quicksilver UL and the spark plugs are facing up.

 

Thx for your time and help,

 

Isaac

Hey Turbo,Be careful with the 4 bolts that attach the timing plate. 2 are longer than the others. Put them back in the wrong place and you can break the lugs on the casing. If you have already removed them, use a depth gauge to work out which bolt goes where. How's the flying in Panama?Neale.
