Rubber parts replace
Does anybody really replace carburetor manifolds every 36 months?
Or engine mount bushings every 200 hours?
Coolant hoses every 48 months?
Thanks

The immediate response has been that it must be bad hose, but in 98% of the cases it has been mechanical damage from poor installation practices and possibly poor hose choices. All other practice that Rubber life is 5 years FIX.
The Rotax Line Maintenance manual dated 09-20-12, Section 05-10-00, paragraph 2.1 and subject head “Time limit for rubber parts” is the section we will be addressing in this article. There are two important issues here to cover. First is the issue with hose time limits and how long will a rubber hose last? The second and possibly more important is hose selection and the right way to install a hose which is covered in part 2 of this article.
