Hi Hugh,

I have 22K caps if you need one.

The 22K is just a Rotax minimum. You can use larger. Rotax now uses 2 x 33K caps
in the 912iS engine. The larger caps like 33K, 40K or 50K will work better than
the 22K. The larger the cap capacitance the larger the physical size. The
small cap like the 22K usually needs to have ends soldered on while the bigger
caps have screw on terminals.

Rotax Oct. 6th & 7th Class Directions

Fly into Tucson International Airport (TIA) or fly your own plane into Ryan Airfield.
Classes are Saturday and Sunday. All rental cars are on site at Tucson
International Airport or Enterprise will pick you up if you fly into Ryan Airfield.
Several hotels are just hundreds of yards down the street at TIA. Ryan Airport
(KRYN) is only 10-12 minute drive. The entire experience is convenient
and comfortable.

The class is Oct. 6th & 7th, Saturday & Sunday. The class will start promptly at
0800 each day and plan on staying until 1700 hours. There will be class in the
conference room each day in the morning and work in the hangar each day after
the class presentation. There will be a lunch break each day at approximately
1130 hours.
Please bring a laptop or tablet device in case you need to find Rotax information
or manuals on line. There is Wi-Fi in the classroom.
The class is being held at Ryan Airfield (KRYN) in Tucson, AZ. (9698 W Ajo Hwy).
This is west of Tucson proper and city limits and approximately 12 minute drive
from the Tucson Airport (TIA). If you fly in your own aircraft parking is
right up at the back door of the conference room. Rental cars are available at
Tucson Airport and Enterprise usually will pick you up at Ryan if you need a
car from there.

Directions to Ryan Airfield are as follows and can be reached by either Ajo Hwy
or Valencia Rd. They both run right in front of Ryan Airport. The conference
room is up front at the airport on Ajo Hwy. It is the only building out on Ajo
Hwy and the only parking out on Ajo Hwy.

General Directions:
If you are staying in Tucson central or out by Interstate 10 then take I-10 to
I-19 south. The turn right to go west bound on Ajo Hwy. Follow this road 12 miles
out to Ryan Airfield. 
If you are staying in a hotel out by Tucson Airport off Valencia Rd. Just head
west on Valencia until it dead ends right at Ryan Airfield on Ajo Hwy.

There is a restaurant at Ryan field and you can have breakfast there. They open
at 0600. Lunch is either at Ryan or at two other local restaurants.

Prepare to learn and have fun doing it!

For what it's worth, two 10,000 mF (microfarad) capacitors in parallel = 20,000
mF will be almost as good as one 22,000 mF capacitor. One capacitor > 22,000 mF
will be fine, even better. But be fussy about having the working voltage (for
any electrolytic capacitor) not less than 25 V. All this capacitor is doing is
acting as a "short" to ground for radio frequency noise originating in the
ignition circuit so that the noise does not mess up your radios.

Keep in mind that capacitors have a limited lifetime. The electrolites 
dry out. It is a real limit at high altitudes and dry climates.

I get mine from digikey and go for the name brands.

Y'all might look over your capacitors at the next annual. Good ones 
have dates on them and you can find the recommended lifetimes.

John, isn't the ignition isolated from the starting/charging circuits
(which is where the capacitor is located)?

John, The working voltage for the Rotax 912 UL electrical system is 12 Volt
s DC; much less than the 22,000 MF capacitor at 25 Volts as called for on t
he Rotax engine diagram. How do you explain your statement that the working
 voltage should not be less than 25Volts?
