Ok my build is going well. Rebuilt my motor. Wings and tail all painted. Under carriage all done. Fuselage is basically assembled. So I don't have many parts left in my house. Taking into account every part I ever lost I have found and there has been many. But I can't find the friction blocks for the throttle shaft. I have the bracket sf284 but I can't find sf417 which consists of four nylon parts and some screws I think. I'm guessing they will be in a bag. If anyone can think where theirs were. Maybe inside another part ??? Any help to what I'm looking for would be great. Thanks Lyndon
-
Yes it may.
-
I'm still debating wether to fit or not. But while I'm painting I may well do it.
-
Found. With no part number. Not in my parts book and the manual just shows a pic of the light and where to place it. I would never have even guessed where this goes. Thanks again
-
Thanks so much. Off to find the two tear drop reinforcing plates. Thanks Lyndon
-
Sorry. Seems like auto spell is working. Sure you all get the drift
-
The light Mmm. I have a cover that attaches to the wing. A hella light with an adjuster that seems to go no where. The manual shows nothing from what I can see . Lyndon
-
Thanks Rick. It's seems very long and was expecting some fancy think to be in the end to catch wind. But I guess simple is good. I will wait till the wing is on the plane but will paint it with my tongue wing . Thanks Lyndon
-
Gday. Pitot tube. I can't find it my manual. Is it sf621. Part number. Also fitting of the hella light in its little shroud. Any pics or info on fitting both of these much appreciated. Lyndon

My concern is tighting up hose clamps on the fuel line and what stops the rislan pipe crushing
-
Thanks for that. I will have to enlarge the hole and or move it as my tank already has the fitting in it. Attachment of the rislan tube with some fuel hose is also a concern or do I have that wrong Lyndon
-
Fuel level pipe info required please.. I see you attach some fuel line to the outlets on the tank and clamp obviously. Then the rislan tube goes into the fuel line and I take it you also clamp it. Doesn't seem right to me but it does work ????. Also just typical my bottom outlet does not line up with the hole at all. Right on the edge which is a Bugger. Lyndon

More paint

I knew it was wrong. Thanks Lyndon

Progress
-
Gday. Before I paint is this the correct way. The bracket angles down ??. Thanks Lyndon

A general question about using private land for operating my Savannah. Specifically in the Adelaide area. Are there restrictions or what you do on your land is your business. Next question is does this change if I have one or two other friends use it as well. Lyndon

Done one rebuilt Rotax. What a lovely little engine to work on .Carbs rebuilt. Gearbox. Long motor. Drip trays fitted. Should run like a treat.
-
Its a late model engine. I have the manual. There is no groove for the o ring. Clearly there was some sort of vibration in the needle to wear so much. The only thing holding the c clip was the o ring. I have ordered two more needles and new c clips Lyndon
-
It's got the orings. 1740 hrs. At a guess it was shot about 5 or 600 hrs and another 300 or 400 the needle would be in two. Mind you only one carb the other is perfect. Lyndon
-
On another note I have overhauled the carbs. Quite surprised to see one carb as almost had the jet needle worn so much on the c clip it has almost cut it clean thru. Lyndon
-
I'm not quite sure. Manifold to rubber carb mount I had an o ring. Now I fit the trays. They use the o ring to the Manifold. The rubber carb mount now has no o ring or gasket. The manual shows a gasket but not needed for the uls. Thoughts please from someone who had first hand experience. Thanks Lyndon
-
I'm perplexed. It's a bucket and was expecting it to handle a failure of the needle and seat. This is of no use except the odd drop from a carburetor that is not in good order. It needs a 3/8 or 1/2 drain be of any use. Lucky if I have an 1/8. I will fit some drains that actually may work . Lyndon
-
Fitting the heads with out the studs makes it a breeze so the push rod orings seat nicely. I've actually bonded with this engine. It's a very nice bit of kit.

It's a four dollar wesfil.
