914 turbo coking
in 912 / 914 Technical Questions
14 years ago
I have been experiencing coking problems in my 914. This is a serious issue as the deposits will block the turbo oil return line causing oil to exit the turbo bearing out the exhaust draining oil and causing lots of smoke.
I am using the Rotax Oil in the crankcase, change oil and filter every 25 hours, do run 100LL as that is all thats available at airports I fly through. I also remove and clean the oil sump can and screen every 2-3 oil changes.
Since the last event I have richened the carbs one more notch to the richest setting. Hopefully this will help. I do not have a EGT or TIT gauge, the sensors just go directly into the computer.
Some have suggested using TCP fuel additive to help.
Others experience?
