Hello John:



Did they say all that with a straight face?  REALLY!

GO JAB... SCRAP a ROTAX!

Hey Guys,



FWIW, when I attended Rotax school at Lockwood they recommended spinning the filter on until contact with the gasket is made, then twist it on an additional 3/4's of a turn. Also, they recommended using a dab of the old oil to wet the gasket. Apparently, the carbon in the old oil helps the filter to stick. If this method helps the filter stick on an engine that shakes as bad as a Rotax 9xx does it should have no trouble at all staying on a Jab. Another thing I liked that they suggested was filling the new filter with oil before spinning it on to prevent a large void of air being pumping through the journals at first start up after an oil change. Makes sense.

  

BTW, I like the Baldwin B-33 filter, too.

John,



That is pretty much SOP - putting a bit of oil on the filter gasket and filling the filter with fresh prior to fitting.

But my understanding is that the reason you apply oil to the gasket is to prevent it grabbing when you tighten it up and possibly tearing or winding out of shape.

 



And are you serious about 912's shaking ?  I'd be balancing your prop as soon as possible !

Cheers

Martin

I've always wondered why the filter instructions said to use new oil  

to lube the gasket. Daredevil that I am, I just say screw 'em, and  

use a drop of the old oil...besides, when I'm puttin' the filter on,  

I don't have the new oil open yet. I'll be damned if they're gonna  

make me use new oil on that gasket and cause a shortage of oil on the  

market. : )

Good Afternoon Lynn,

  

 The directions on the Champion filter say to use Dow Corning Compound  number four on the gasket. If that is not available they say to use engine  oil.

  

 Happy Skies,

  

 Old Bob
