I have upgraded the reg to three phase mosfet. My engine came with an old Ducati regulator. Got a genuine one of a used r1 yamaha for about 50 bucks. ( 2007 and on) . In the bike world these are the duck guts. Once fitted on a bike all your reliability issues are fixed. The risk of buying new and a fake vs a genuine used was not worth it. Lyndon

I have sorted my oil pressure sender. Cheap and should fix the vibration issues. Ok I have a new phone and I can't download pics as they are to big. Will have to sort it out Lyndon
-
I'm doing the cooling system now. Both my outlets don't match the pump Or the header tank with the the straight bit of hose supplied in the kit that is quite frankly too big in diameter. I presuming the left side of the radiator goes to the header tank and the right side which is the suction side goes to the pump ??. Or are there two huge loops at the rear of the engine . Lyndon

I see some people use the battery lead as a negative to the engine. Then fit a larger cable for the positive. Seems like a good idea to me. Thoughts on benefits vs extra weight. If so what size cable am I looking for. Lyndon

My cooler has straight fittings. Is this an issue now or down the road. Everything I can see has angled fittings. Also I have do (not fit on part sf137). I'm wondering why. Lyndon
-
I will need some new connectors . I got them out ok. Where are they available. Bert flood, Jay car ?? Lyndon
-
Ok I'm sure these two short wires are my mags. The single cut wire goes to my starter for the soft start. The wires are so faded it was hard to tell the colour. Lyndon
-
I'm also interested in why there is a jumper wire joining the coils then it used to go somewhere and that is cut. Lyndon
-
I'm wiring up the mags. From what I can see in the Rotax manual they are brown wires. All I can find is two cut wires in white. One would hope they didn't cut them this close surely.
-
Ok I have sorted it. I have bought a standard vdo sender. I have some fittings sorted and will mount it on the fire wall. That seems to be the go. Lyndon
-
It seems you can't buy the Honeywell any more. ( So if it fails ). It apparently has the 1/8 th ntp thread. From what I can see buy the the cheap vdo sender that suits my engine and loom. Then remote fit on the firewall. These kits are available in the USA. I would prefer to buy in Australia. Does anyone know availability in Australia. Lyndon

My engine has a honey well oil pressure sender. It has two wires. I'm presuming an earth or a power supply is the extra one. ( my kit only has one wire in the loom ). Secondly will my gauge be suitable for this sender. I see a lot of issues with leaking senders etc. So keep this or just buy the correct sender new. Thoughts Lyndon

Can I confirm it's a m8 x1 thread in the carbs. Lyndon
-
Look like the right one ??
-
I have all that. Just no carb inlets.
-
Great will get onto that now Lyndon
-
Regulator and starter relay. Any experience with what to buy and more importantly what not to buy . I'm in need of these two items. Lyndon

Mike. [email protected] Thanks Lyndon
-
Thanks for the input. But I can't open that file Lyndon
-
For example. I have the wrong connectors for my head temp sensors. Kit is for a Rotax 912. What is the go. Modify what connecters I have have or replace ?? Lyndon
-
I'm wiring up the engine. Seems a bit of a guessing game with my manual. Anyone have a link to some thing with more detail. Lyndon
-
I would like to praise Reg. If anyone thinking of building a plane take into consideration the after sales back up. I can only say that his knowledge and promtness and range of parts etc on the shelf is exemplary. It's a great thing having that kind of back up in Australia Lyndon

I take it this is what I'm after for spacers/washer for my hiem joints Lyndon If so I'm one short. Also I see where they attach to the flaps the book says you can swap the special washers for standard an960-5
-
I knew as soon as you mentioned those little washers / spacers. I had seen them and wondered what they are for. Went back to the manual and yep it says fit the an - 5 washers. Which I did and which don't work. Even looked in parts manual and it doesn't list those nice little washers. Guess its something they added along the way. Glad I mentioned it and even more glad I got an answer. Its a pretty important part of the plane. Lyndon
-
Its what I call em. Been a standing joke for as long as I can remember. But on serious note I know what is not right. Yep it's something I have done wrong. Thanks Lyndon
