Went to Office Depot and gave them the URL for the new manual and they were
able to print it , bind it with wire coil and covers for $17. That was good
for me as the thing is almost 1/2 inch thick printed both sides.
I read it last night and it is a much better manual than the old one even
though the English is much the same as the English found in the instructions
for a Harbor Freight tool ! But then I can't speak German so what the heck.

There are some changes, some good some I think not so good.

Good evening Roger
I am a fairly new poster and I have recently purchased a VERY nice Kitfox
Vixen in CA and have imported it to Canada. I am in the process of changing
the registration and Airworthiness Certificate to meet Transport Canada
regulations. One requirement is carb heat. I have installed the SkyDrive
(from the UK) hot water manifolds that sit between the carbs and the
intakes. They plumb into the cooling sysyem and basically just maintain
enough heat at the carb throat body to prevent the formation of ice. They
can be left on at all times without reducing engine performance. QUESTIONS
1. Are you familiar with these units? If so any comments?
2. These take up about 3/4 inch and therefore move the carbs back that much.
I have installed the revised carb support spring ( the top mounted version)
but of course it is too short, so I have bent a stainless wire bracket
between the spring and the balance tube elbows. Also the side springs were
replaced with "after market" ones from our auto supply outlet.
3. Do you see any problems with this arrangement? Should I attach a safety
wire at each spring, just to be sure? Is having the carbs coming off a
"common problem" with the 912UL? I will be flying mainly over fairly
unhospital terrain and definitally require RELIABILITY.
4. My engine is serial # 4153404 (1996 version). 130 hours total time.
Anything unusual I should be on the lookout for? I have gone through the
Rotax-Owners website for updates.
Feel free to comment and recommend. I am all ears.
Cheers
Don Hudgeon
