 	  Code: 	
		  I was just looking at the vent lines on each side of my 582 carbs. Both carbs are 'T' into a common line which goes out and down from the engine compartment. I assume this was done to prevent any fires in case of overflow. HOWEVER...I remember reading in a earlier thread that it is not a good idea since now both carbs will have equal air pressure and could screw up carb tuning...Thoughts ????? thanks 	




It seems to me there is a Rotax or maybe an old Skystar service bulletin that says "Thou shalt not alter those Bing Carb vent lines".

Here's the Service Bulletin about modifying the carb vent tubes.





January 8, 1992 



SERVICE BULLETIN #11 



SUBJECT:    Rotax 582 and 532 CARBURETOR AIR VENT TUBE 



TO:              Kitfox™ Owners Equipped with Rotax 582 and 532 Engines 



FROM:         Denney Aerocraft Company 



There have been several incidents reported to Denney Aerocraft, where the above mentioned two-cycle engines have “seized” during normal operation. Our investigations revealed that the carburetor Air Vent Lines were ‘T’d” together into a longer tube and vented out the bottom of the cowling. The longer tube, especially when vented out into the prop-wash changes the air pressure inside the carburetor causing it to run excessively lean. This can cause the engine to seize. 



Denney Aerocraft recommends that you leave these vent tubes as they come from the Rotax Factory. We have not experienced any fuel dripping or leaking from these factory supplied vent lines. These Vent Lines are not fuel overflow tubes. If fuel is leaking out through them, then there is a carburetion problem. 



NOTE:    IF YOUR FAA INSPECTOR REQUIRES YOU TO VENT THESE LINES TO THE OUTSIDE. PLEASE HAVE THE INSPECTOR CALL DENNEY AEROCRAFT’S TECHNICAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT.

I'm running a little late here, Tom and I don't know if this has been 

answered or not, but this is how I recall it.  That linking line  between 

the two carbs should have a small drain hole melted in it half way between 

the two and that's all.  No line down behind the engine.  The reason is that 

it enters a low pressure area which interferes with how the carbs operate 

that causes problems with engine operation.
