When this happens in flight, you will hear or feel a slight "popping" noise,
Maybe
a small burp in the otherwise smooth running Rotax. It is a Back Fire !
It is caused by the introduction of additional air into the muffler (silencer)
and I know, I have the T shirt.
The problem is with the exhaust system, I recommend you "bight the bullet" and
order an all new exhaust system for Europa. I did and it was made different,
better,
and works. The old company had some exhaust systems that where not built
well. Just bad luck for me and Terry too, I am guessing.

picturesGuys,
Please find enclosed a picture of the aft springhinges of the muffler bending
upwards
allowing the exhaust to leak enough exhaust fumes to make my CO warner
go wild in the cockpit.
During an inspection of the engine it was noted that the LH backside spring
attachment
of the exhaust to the pipe was bent upwards, allowing engine fumes to
pass and trigger the alert.
Please find enclosed a pictures of my exhaust system, showing the difference
between
the forward and aft springhinges.
Part total time is 42 hours.
Andy Drapers reports he has never seen anything like this before, anyone of you
perhaps did !?
Best Regards,
Sven den Boer
