AIRCRAFT; All Rotax powered ultralight aircraft using Mikuni fuel pump. Problem area; Improper fuel pump mounting Incident report; Ultralight pilots flying various craft have reported their engines quitting for no apparent reason. Most failures have been in hot humid conditions, after 10 or 15 minutes of flying. Once down on the ground the engine starts and runs as if nothing was wrong, and may go for days until it happens again.

Instructions

Upon closer inspection it was found that the Mikuni fuel pump had been mounted directly to the engine block below the carburetor, where two threaded holes that are just the right distance apart to mount the pump are located. What happens is the heat from the engine is transfer to the fuel pump causing vapor lock, the pump fails, thus not supplying any fuel to the engine, resulting in an engine failure. Once down on the ground the pump has cooled down enough to start working again, thus the pilot in most cases is unable to locate the problem. Suggestions; Change the mounting of the fuel pump so that it is in free air, no more than 11 inches from the engine vacuum source, and away from any heat sources. Or when using the holes on the engine block to mount the pump install insulating blocks between the pump and engine block, so that heat can't be transferred from the engine to the pump. One way of doing this is to drill out the fuel pump holes where the mounting bolts go through, install a short piece of gas line, in the hole, install a bolt with a washer against the head, into the gas line, through the newly drilled holes, install a washer and then a nut, threading the nut up so that the gas line acts as an insulating block and vibration damper, then tighten the bolt into the threaded holes directly below the carb.

When mounting the pump make sure that the little vent hole, on the face of the pump is facing down to allow it to drain excess liquid from pumping chamber. Also make sure that the vacuum line used is of the proper type and thickness, the use of regular gas line IS NOT RECOMMENDED as the side walls tend to collapse causing fuel pump failure!
