 |
|
Used engine! I have a leak from the water pump at the fitting that then attaches to the hose that goes to the head. I resolved all the little issues of installation but found this little moisture at that fitting. After playing with it for awhile it began to freely move and leaked even more. I understand it is epoxied in place. But, I am unable to remove it from the water pump. I have a lot of ideas but I sure I will pay for them in the end. Note; the pump has not been removed yet.

Be cautous here this is a delicate part.Its threaded in with a very fine thread.The tap for this is very hard to find.I went through this with my plane. When I removed the fitting and tried to screw the replacement in it seized and would not screw in or out.After soaking it heating it etc. I finally unscrewed it and stripped the threads off of the tube part.I then tapped the punp outlet and succesfully replaced the tube.These are beautiful engines but too much like jewelry in some ways.

Ray!!! Thanks for the excellent advice. I am waiting for Loctite 680 to set up and then reinstall the pump on the motor.

Hi George I did not even know if my message got through.I,m always amazed at how well these engines perform given there light and seemingly delicate construction. I have that tap around somewhere and when I find it I will try to share it with a rotax repair person. Good luck and good flying Ray
