The L 275 E does not have any shrouding. The type of cooling system necessary will
very much depend on your installation situation, (pusher, tractor – propeller, high-speed
aircraft or low speed paramotor)
The L 275 / L 550 E have magneto ignition and do not need electrical power for running.
If equipped with an electrical starter, a 12V battery capable of delivering 80-100 A is
needed. For the L 550 E a 24V battery was also successfully used.
The L 275 E is designed for direct drive and will not take bearing side loads other than
those generated within the engine itself. For a belt reduction system you will have to
devise a strut between the two pulleys that eliminates side loads on the crankshaft.
The L 275 E was specifically designed to be very lightweight – thus sacrificing longevity.
Customers using the engine report service lives between 150h and 250h.
The L 275 E / L 550 E feature all-position diaphragm carburetors with integrated fuel
pumps. If the fuel tank is located close to the engine (200 – 300mm difference in
height) the fuel pumps work well. For applications with a fuel tank aft of the engine,
acceleration forces during take-off must be considered. They could disturb the function
of the integrated pumps. It is possible to overboost the integrated pumps with an
electrical fuel pump (0.3 bar).
