This question is for all you Rotax 912uls drivers out there. This past year
I have been having issues with what I had hoped was a faulty ammeter. But
after replacing the ammeter with a volt meter as per the recommendation of
my local A&P mechanic. I have discovered that the gage was not the problem.
I do indeed have a problem in the charging system. With the volt meter,
after engine start, it was showing 14volts or more but by the time I got
airborne it was only showing 12 or less and after less that a 30 minute
flight I had to land because I was down to less that 11 volts. The system
just was not charging. This engine only has a little over 100 hours total
time on it so I'm wondering if I could have a bad rectifier. In addition to
this problem I am getting a noise in the radio ever time I transmit. Could
the two be related or is this a separate problem? Opinions please.

About a year ago I experienced identical charging behavior with my
912uls, also a low time engine. I corrected it completely by replacing
the rectifier/regulator. Got it from SkyStar.

Hi Roger=2C
You will find that a lot of 912 regulators go bad. I am on my 3rd one. I
do have an alternator now and it is running parallel to the one that comes
with the engine. Mine would act just like yours=2C I believe it is a heat
problem. I can now taxi with nav lights=2C landing light=2C strobes=2C tr
ansponder=2C 2 radios=2C inst lights and system charges with engine at idle
.
