 |
|
I am looking for some softer rubber to reduce the vibration coming from my 582. I just got off the phone with CPS and conclude that their mount is the wrong fit. I see from the Skystar schematic that the hole in the plate is 0.75", and their mount was just a little over 0.5", expanding to about 1.5" at the wider dimension.
John McBean has the part, but carries only one softness, which I am assuming is the same part I have now. Can anybody tell me a supplier who has this part in a variety of softness? Any other tips on how to tame this low RPM vibration?

Hi Jeff.
I think consensus is that the 582 just vibrates alot at idle speed. "Softer" mounts probably won't cure that apparently immutable characterstic of the engine. Having said this, there are some workarounds. You can speed up the idle or unload the engine by installing the prop slip-clutch system (available for the C box).
I have the slip clutch and like it, though I do worry some about what a free, windmilling prop will do to my glide in the event of engine failure.

As for the softer mounts, they may help some, but reducing the engine shake would help the most.
Jeffrey, the roughness you feel is normal for the 582 when idling. Part of it is the nature of the two stroker, part is the tortional vibration of the pistons trying to turn the prop, and part is the nature of the gearbox. You can usually improve the idle considerably by going to leaner idle jets and also by keeping the rpms up over 2200 when idling. Ensure you have the throttle adjusted so you can pull it back to about 1500 so you can land without floating.
Your mileage will vary and you'll probably get several more replies to this common phenomenon of the 582.
