List, 

 

  Here's a heads up on the Ivo. Last time I flew the FF she had a vibration. The cht's were high and the EGT's were low. Im at 50 hrs and decided to go on with the decarbon. Good decision , cause when I was removing the prop I saw that the adjusting ear was broken off one of the blades. I feel sure that is the cause of the vibration as well as the low EGT's and the High CHT's. Seems to be a fair amount of carbon on the intake side of the head as well as the piston crown.    Can anyone tell me If the gearbox has to be removed to get the lower shroud off the cylinders on the 447?

Gang:



You can get the official Rotax manuals for all their engines on the 

Kodiak web page.  Very convenient to be able to pull up the current 

manuals for free.



I understand CPS has a nice catalog, but it ain't gospel.

 Ed,

  

 I just finished doing a top end overhaul on my 447 and the lower shroud  was removed without messing with the gear box or the fan tower.  I  found it to be slightly stubborn, not bending it, but twisting somewhat to  get it in and out of place.

  

 In lieu of using Sea Foam, Yamaha is distributing a product called  Ring Free.  Mix it into the fuel and it is supposed to remove and/or  eliminate carbon deposits and eliminate sticky rings.  I am going to start  using it.
