Brand new 582 wont start

    First, check your carbs bowls should fill up. Put the needle in the winter position. That is 3rd slot from the top. Is your 582 inverted (plugs down)? Inverted 582 are really easy to flood. Do you have the choke (enrichener) hooked up? Keep in mind also that you have to reach close to 200 rpm to get a spark. So make sure you give the pull cord a good yank or make sure your battery is well charged for the starter.

    Once you have checked the above, you should pull the choke to 3/4, open the throttle to 1/3 and crank... it will start.

    My 582 is inverted and if I send more than 2 primer shots, it floods.

    Imo, you dont need the primer circuit, its just a really good way to flood the 582.

    Make sure to follow the rotax breakin procedure and watch your coolant temps closely, they are easy to overheat on their first starts, because: the pistons are really tight and generate lots of friction and you might still have air bubbles in your rads. You are also running the engine with poor airflow through the rad (s) during the breakin.

    Have you made sure your rotary valve oil reservoir has been bleeded correctly? The rotary shaft gear is brass and you will ruin it within 15 minutes if you dont have the system properly bleeded. (Special procedure if you are inverted)

    While youre breaking in the engine, its a good idea to insure your thermostat is working properly. You should feel coolant in the hose and you should see temperature going down when it opens. Bring it back to idle if it goes above 180f.

    Good luck and let us know

    Thanks for all the tips. My engine is upright not inverted. I will not be able to try it again until Friday. I will also recheck all the fluid levels before cranking it over. I got a battery booster to make Sure I'm getting a good spin. I'll let you guys know what happens.

    Thanks Again for all the advice. I was able to get her started today. I believe it was a combination of a weak battery and bad fuel pump. putting the gas in the spark plug holes worked great but it wouldn't stay running. replaced fuel pump and pulse line and ran great. Also the new battery is a lithium ion and it weighs practically nothing.
