Beaver RX 28 Powered by Rotax 277 single cylinder aircraft engine.
Bing 54 Carburetor:
The carburetor supplied on early model aircraft used a float system which
connected the two floats together, and had a small weeper hole in the bottom of the
float bowl. This lead to the carburetor always dripping fuel out of the weeper hole
at an idle.
It is recommended the this older style of carburetor be updated to the new model
which uses two separate floats and has eliminated the weeper hole. Other problems
relating to the carburetor are the airfilter coming off and striking the prop.
The carburetor rotating on the intake socket in flight. This would usually result in
fuel venting out the vent lines sometimes over a hot exhaust system.
Spectrum Beaver RX 28 Boom tube failure.
We have recently received reports of boom tube damage on 277 equipped Beaver ultralights. The failure is
apparently caused by the mounting of the exhaust system. The heat from the exhaust is striking the main boom
tube, which over time weakens the boom tube.

Spectrum Beaver Rotax Aircraft Engine Troubleshooting.
The Beaver factory supplied their craft with several engine options, all of them Rotax. Single seat RX 28 craft were first shipped with
the single cylinder fan cooled 277, 28 HP two stroke engine. Later model RX 35 were shipped with the 377/447. The original two
place RX 550 was shipped with either the 447 or 503. In early 1988 changes were made to the RX 550 engine mount and airframe
which allowed for use of the 532/582 Rotax.
