Re: Batter for Katana 100

POWERSAFE DRY CELL BATTERY SBS J-16 FAA PMA Many C1s and A1s are using this battery. My IA said you don’t even need a 337. The Yuasa batteries seem fairly poor quality. I wouldn’t trust even a sealed one not to leak. I’m not sure why Diamond ever used this battery. The powersafe/ oddesey batteries a...

Rotax to Continental IO 240B conversion

Has anyone heard of a conversion from the Rotax A1 to a IO 240B from the C1? I’ve had it with Rotax and with C1 prices absurd at the moment I’m considering this as an option.

It’s possible the needle clip is in the wrong position.

Has anyone heard of a muffler causing overheating?
