Available for collection in Gloucestershire - let me know if you want it. in friendship Rowland | Rowland Carson ... that's Rowland with a 'w' ... | http://www.rowlandcarson.org.uk | Skype, Twitter: rowland_carson Facebook: Rowland Carson | pictures: http://picasaweb.google.com/rowlandcarson ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 04:18:03 PM PST US From: "Jerry Rehn" Subject: Europa-List: 914 Ignition Module I had a bad ignition module which showed up as a very low rpm on the mag check. It was almost 900 rpm difference. Turns out it was the top module which fires the top plugs on the 914. I went thru the Ignition troubleshooting guide (see attached) it pointed me in the right direction. It was not firing the top front two plugs. I could pull the plug wires off and no difference. It was amazing how well the engine ran with just the back two top plugs working when I was testing just the top module. The engine kept running with just one plug firing on one cylinder as I was testing and pulling plug wires off. The engine has under 500 hours and I cannot get any explanation from any Rotax people as to the cause of failure. They only say that failures are rare, and I might add expensive $950. All is fixed and I had a great flight today to a few of the Islands up here in the Pacific Northwest (looked for Fred on Orcas, didn't see him:) Jerry Rehn Europa XS Mono 914 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 06:57:54 PM PST US From: Fred Klein Subject: Re: Europa-List: 914 Ignition Module On Jun 21, 2011, at 4:14 PM, Jerry Rehn wrote: > All is fixed and I had a great flight today to a few of the Islands > up here in the Pacific Northwest (looked for Fred on Orcas, didn=92t > see him:) Hey Jerry...if you were heading north just east of the airstrip at about 1500 ft.
