Hi Boyd, Despite the naysayers, many economy batteries are just as good as their more expensive counterparts with similar design (size, plate count, etc). with 3 years and counting on the first,,,,, at $18.00 a pop.... = not bad service. Like I said,,,, only down side... long delivery time.

Boyd, Is this the jump start at Harbor Freight you are talking about? http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=91045 Or perhaps this one? http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=38391 Thom in Buffalo >>>>>>>>>> Thom.... the second link shows the jump start with the 17AH battery.... that would be the correct battery to comply with the requirements for the 912.... but the jump start is a bit different than the one I have.... the overall appearance of the case is the same. the first link only has a 12 AH battery. If I remember correctly John H. said that he was using the 12AH battery with the new style starter on his 912s.. I bought my jump starts over 3 years ago when they had a good sale going.... I think what had happened they had got a new supply in and wanted to get rid of the old stock..... when they ran out of the old stock,,, they substituted it with the new stock... I probably forgot to mention.... the jump start also included a very small air compressor.... along with the battery charger (110V that turns itself off when charged) the first link shows the 110 v power cord for the charger, the second link does not show the charging power cord...volt meter, light, 12 v cigarette lighter adapter, 12 v charging port, short battery cables with clamps, high current disconnect switch. Because it was cheaper than a battery alone.... I bought 2,, robbed the battery from one for the plane.... and continue to use one in my business.... If you want to order the battery only order the replacement battery for the second link.

From: "Thom Riddle" Boyd, Thanks for the very helpful info. There is a Harbor Freight store close by so I'm going to see what that have in the store here. I don't even need a battery now but ours is about 3 1/2 years old and behaving itself well but I try to keep good suppliers in mind.

If you go to the Google maps link below you can see his drive coming south off of Wall St. with the lake to the east of the house. Since Wall St. is a narrow country road I suppose they market it from 724 since that's a major thorofare. I've only ever driven to his house; if I'd have flown in I would have realized it.

It's a small thing to miss. The trike I annualed had been used in three WSC Repairman Inspector classes and no one had written it up as a defect. The trike is a 1997 or 98 vintage and there is no evidence that the head vent was ever put in. Rotax says the vent is a must do for the engine to cool properly. Go figure.
