The 2 strokes are not supported by Rotax. Thermostats can fail. You should be able to adapt something.  Nev

Not correct facthunter, I have bought parts for 377, 582 recently. They even have about 10 new 582's still in oz. Parts will be available one way or another (usa) for a long time. There are a lot of 2 stroke rotax in use with aircraft and snow mobiles.

Thankyou Thruster88 for the great news on 10 new motors in OZ....and your facts. I also fly a Minimax tailwheel with a 447...great aircraft. Theres nothing wrong with 2 strokes when maintained correctly.

 

Facthunter...making something fit into an engine that you will be flying means your a test pilot.....Ive been flying for 32 years..and I dont wish to be a TEST pilot.

 

Im really looking for good advice only. I have received positive info from Wal.

 

Happy New year to all.

 

cheers Aero10

Nice, Yep Wal is a Legend and has given me great advice over the years, I try to buy parts off him so hopefully he makes a bit out of the purchase.

I'm only trying to help. I'd prefer to operate without a thermostat in an airborne 2 stroke. Use shutters or a blind. Thruster I was only repeating the words the Makers used, at the time.    Of course resourceful people can keep these things going but you have to get stuff early in the Piece, like low time 582's when people pulled them at 300 hours and put a new one in which didn't cost that much, if you sold your old engine on. Incidentally, I've been building and tuning competition 2 strokes since Pontius Pilot  was in diapers. I don't wish to blow my own trumpet, but I'm NOT coming from a position of ignorance in this matter either. ,Nev
