In reading the Rotax Operator's Manual there are four "configurations" of this engine. Configurations 1, 2, 3, and 4. Configuration is no longer available and was replaced by configuration 2. So there are actually only three configurations as noted in the manual, 2, 3, and 4. From the descriptions of configurations 3 and 4 they are for engines with constant speed propellers that have hydraulic governors. Therefore, this leaves only one configuration for those of us with "fixed" pitch props; configuration 2. The manual further states that the gearbox overload clutch is only installed on 912 UL (non-certified) engines that are of configuration 3. Therefore we who have 912 UL engines with fixed pitch props do not have the overload clutch in our engines. Am I correct in this conclusion?

If you have neither of these #s call Lockwood with the six digit # you have. they will be able to tell you exactly what is inside your gear box.

Hugh I have a 914 which is the turbo version. However I had to order the slip clutch and heavy duty starter on the options list when the engine was ordered. I may say the engine starts with one single dab on the start button, none of the rocking and shuddering I've noticed with others. Similarly on shut down it is a complete none event. Of course the slipper clutch if set right is a crank shaft protector in the event of prop strike. Regards Bob Harrison Europa MKI (previously with Jabiru 3300 six cylinder and enjoying comparison !
