Group,

 

  Thanks for the input on EGT. Seems I have the correct main of 165  ,as I am 

at around 45' above sea level and will not be in temps over 95*  I  guess I 

should have given more info on my egt question.

                                                             Firefly 447

                                      Full throttle take off:    EGT   1000 * 

  CHT   350*

                   WOT  level flight       6,450  rpms         75mph          

Temps about same as  above

                  Flying  slightly above stall speed      4500-5000   rpms   

EGT 1200*   CHT 350* 

 

       If I fly above 5200     or below 4000 or so, all temps are fine. Do 

these look like normal temps and I  will just have to avoid slow flying? Or is 

there some other trick. I just dont  want to ruin a new engine.

I'd be happy with those temps if it was my airplane and engine.  Can't 

get any better than that.

That doesn't sound dangerous to me, 1200 degrees is marginal by Rotax's 

current specs, although normal by their specs from former years, but at 

5000 rpm's or below an EGT of 1200 will be unlikely to hurt anything. 

And that temp will drop closer to the "normal" range when summer gets here.

 Do you have the jet needle and needle jet that Rotax calls for? A 

fatter needle than called for will give you less fuel in midrange. And 

so will a smaller needle jet.

Bro. Pike,

 

 

     I wouldn't know one needle from the other.  How do you tell what size 

needle you have. I dont have another one to compare it  to. It is what came in 

it new from the New Kolb Factory. Seems I dont have  to worry about the temps 

being 1200* as long as I'm under 5,000 rpms. Whenever  it goes to 1200* I goose 

it and the egt drops right away.  Sounds like a  rotax right?
