Well pete interesting that you mentioned that... yes it is and no it was
about the only thing i didn't change.
The colombian knowledge based on every climate from temperate to tropical
is that rotax carb rubbers are known to fail in hot country. Rotax motors
are used and abused (they use them for crop dusting in mxp savannah) in
ways that would make most of us blench and giving me a great deal of
confidence in rotax engines. the knowledge about what fails and doesnt
fail is based on real life. Btw i live in miami.
And yes...very, very lucky. I think cyl burn could have been the best
outcome. The worst doesn't bear thinking about.
I posted it so that everyone can learn through my mistake.
Henceforth i shall change every other year and follow buds advice to check
closely every 25 hours.
