GASSITT added a post in a topic Rotax 583
I started selling the Rotax 583 in 1988 and still do , but not too many now as I have bought all the brand new 583s that were available , no more left , out of 214 of them i recently ran out and have no more and with the economy the way it is now and not many people buying and building aircraft , Gyros, PPC, airboats ect its ok that i ran out of new engines . IThe other question as why haven't i come up with somebody to tell the world how great the Rotax 583s are ,I can see that fiasco now ! , REALLY , is that what Steve told you to say about the Rotax 583 , WOW thats unbleavable , WOW Is that true ECT.ECT , Sorry you find them on your own and if they either mislead you or convince you its totally up to you who or what to beleave , I know how well the 583 works as do many others as well, Besides flying nearly everyday i have other things to do rather that be belittled by no-matter what i say. Just the facts .

A funny thing happened when Merle Williams flew his multi award winning Rotax 583 powered beautiful Kitfox to Sun & Fun In Fla. a few years ago from Arizona and back While on display Phil Lockwood along with a couple other Rotax wigs , one of them blirted out , THATS AN ILLEGAL ENGINE ! and as the group around Merles plane got larger the three Rotax guys tucked their tail and moved on , True story BTW he usually flew it at 62 to 64 hundred RPM getting just over 3.5 GPH not at 7000 as was portrayed by one poster to be necessary to be flyable , Just the Facts !

I'am not trying to sell 583 Rotax engines to anybody , I'am just stating the facts , The Rotax 583 engine was one of the longest production engines built by Rotax , its very dependable and in most cases will last longer than the Rotax 582 engine mostly due to the Nippon-Denso ignition , You guy that bad-mouth me and the Rotax 583 engine are not using simple common sense ! The 582 and the 583 are really close in all aspects except for the Ignition system , the RAVE valve variable exhaust port timing , rotary valve and much better Mikuni carbs , that combination doesn't make something as unflyable as you are trying to project them to be . AGAIN , just the facts

WELL C5E whover?
Its more than likely you have never seen let alone flown a Rotax 583 engine ON ANYTHING !, The world is full of people like you , there's even a song (YOU TALK ABOUT PEOPLE YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW ) anyway First of all If you don't think they're all snowmobile engines just ask a Lycoming owner , The Rotax 583 comes off the same assy.line as the 582 and YES there is some different parts used in either , Same bore and stroke , BUT ! Since you haven't flown one of the 583s you don't understand that when the SO-CALLED 582 aircraft engine get to about 6700 RPM it just gives up , WHY ?, OK THE 582 has no advance in the ignition timing , Its just a cheap Ducati duel ignition that fires at .059 BTDC ALL THE TIME ! , where as the 583 engine fires at TDC at start up (NICE SMOOTH IDLE) and advances to .086 BTDC depending on RPM , the 583 has the RAVE system which changes the exhaust port timing according to engine RPM also , this is why the 583 can (IF NEEDED ) be red lined at 7250 at which it has 97 horespower , (BUT) wrongly stated by C5E its not necessary to run the 583 at 7000 RPM ever , if you don't need that extra horsepower ) OK C5E just for the heck of it ask ANY !! snowmobiler if they would trade their 583 sled engine With Mikuni carbs and Nippon-Dendo ignition for a 582 SO-CALLED AIRCRAFT ENGINE with Ducati ignition and (CONTROLLED AIR LEAK ) oops I mean BING CARBS ?? (I THINK NOT ) Just in case you didn't know there are several hundred Rotax 583 engines flying all over the world in Aircraft , Gyros , Powered Parachutes , Trikes and Hovercraft.

GASSITT added a post in a topic Oils: A Fluid Discussion - What each Rotax 912 owner should consider
I am not trying to start a flame war but, many of the four banger auto engines for at least the last twenty years are turning as much as two thousand RPM more then we do with the Rotax 912 and with water temps above 220 degrees being the the norm as well as oil temps up over 200. many of the auto oils work quite well in the Rotax and Lycomings , I use Castrol GTX 10-40 Or Mobil 1 15-50 in the Rotax and Castrol GTX 20-50 in the Lycomings , My thought is that if the turbo charged cars of now days espically as lean as they are run and their temps that they run the Rotax 912 and Lycomings do just fine .I change my oils at 25 hours , just think about the cars that if their lucky the get new oil at 5000 miles or about 166 hrs average
