    From: Nigel Graham <nigel_graham@m-tecque.co.uk>
    Jon, The Bing carburettors used on the 912/4 series engines were developed originally for the BMW R65 motorcycle (Mid '70's era) Overhaul kits for these can be obtained from vintage BMW motorcycle specialists such as Motorworks for a far more attractive price than you'll find at any Rotax dealer Check out: http://www.motorworks.co.uk/vlive/Shop/Parts.php?T=5&NU=15&M &Ct=FA&SbCt=BA_15_20_FA_45 Nigel On 19/09/2015 06:21, italianjon wrote: > > Hi All, > > I am wondering if it is possible to purchase a few O-Rings for a Rotax Carb, without buying the complete and expensive overhaul kit. > > I have a couple that are missing and/or cracked. > > Using Fig 73-14 of the latest issue Heavy Maintenance Manual as a guide, I am looking for 2 x O-Rings that dampen the needle (38) and 1 x O-Ring for the Idle Mixture Screw (37). > > Thanks > > Jon > > > Read this topic online here: > > http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=447221#447221 > >

    Hi Kevin, I would appreciate the details of the PV50 motor.Do you know where to obtain a replacement? I also have some spare blades but they are not matched to my hub, therefore ,if I needed to use them I would need to carry out some serious balancing. If you succeed in manufacturing the drive screw and nut you may find that there are some potential customers out here!
