Jim, will keep you posted. I did a lot of research and as I see it, a little carb heat from the water cooling system costs me nothing in performance and can do more good than harm. It's installed and has an on/off valve. No big deal. I was talking about a temp probe in this subject. Sorry about the ...

Yeah 2 things going at once here. Carb heat and tyemp probe. Oh well. I'll do better next time. To the guy who has never needed carb heat, Your in Georgia? It's pretty warm there. I'm in central Wisconsin and i fly when it's below freezing on occasion and sometimes when the temp and humidity are jus...

On my Seastar pusher configuration, both carbs are in direct airflow from outside air through the cowl openings. so they get no benefit what so ever from engine produced heat. If you stand in front of the aircraft, you can almost see the carburetors and air cleaners, one on each side. I have carb he...

I have built 3 experimental aircraft and this is my 4th and 1st using a 912ULS. I have done a lot of research and found some people who had carb icing problems occasionally. My opinion of carb ice on the 912 is "better safe that sorry". My plane is a pusher configuration. Therefore the air...

THANKS!

I found em. Use the ones made for ATVs

My 912 has 2 Bing carbs and I am installing a Grand Rapids Tech EIS. Included in this monitoring system is a carb temp probe. It is short and has a 1/4"x28 thread. Does anyone have a clue where I would put this on a Bing carburetor? I think it should be in the fuel stream after the butterfly. I...

My airplane will be a pusher configuration and i want to install a heater core with blower in the cabin. I already have a nice small one. I need to tap into the 912 coolant hoses coming to and from the radiator. I don't remember the O.D. right off hand but I need 2 "T" fittings to put in t...

3Dreaming Thanks for your answer. And you are using a 912 with the factory regulator? Could you make a small simple sketch of the switch location? I assume it is between the "C" terminal on the regulator and the B+ ? I just need to be sure. Thanks again.

I'm in the process of building a Seastar, also know as the Peturi in Brazil. I am using a Rotax 912ULS 100HP engine. I have the instrument panel almost done and it was an immense amount of work. One of the things I did that I maybe shouldn't have was install a 2 part Cessna Master switch. This is fo...
