  1. Well, I have my 582 to the point where it has all the fluids and I can run the starter.  I hooked up the oil injection and bled the system by removing the bleeder bolt.  I would have thought I could just turn over the engine and I should see oil start to creep up the oil injection lines, but I am not.  Is this a valid test or is the pump slow enough that the engine needs to be running for a bit before I will see oil in the injection lines?
    TIA
  2. So the new(ish) 582 is here and has oil injection.  The standard oil reservoir is not going to work because it is too big to fit on the firewall, because the motor mount gets in the way. Rotax suggests a minimum of 5% of fuel capacity, which for me is 15 gallons, which would make for a 3 quart reservoir, which will not fit and feels like a bit overkill for my application.  With 15 gallons of fuel, at a 50:1 mixture, I shouldn't use more than 39 ounces of oil, so a quart and a half should be adequate and hopefully will fit, as long as I can keep the output high enough for the pump.  Anyone have any suggestions for a reservoir?
    I keep going back and forth about whether to just run pre-mix and figure out what all I have to do to "properly" disable the system.
    TIA
