The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

I know its no a biplane but i own one and with the vast knowledge on here i figured id ask here first.

I Have a Rotax 582 Blue Head engine on my Challenger amphib. I just replaced both fuel filters (electrical and engine driven) and just replaced two fuel lines, but now it floods super easy. Like 5 secs on the electric fuel pump and there is fuel coming out the air filter and the lower part of the exhaust.

anyone have any suggestions to why its doing this all of a sudden? i didnt think the two fuel filters were blocking that much fuel, but its never did this before.

I replaced these things because there was blockages on the filters and hoses damage from from what i would assume would be ethanol from the previous owner
