The engine seems much less prone to vibration and kickback at startup and shutdown. However, I do have a problem and I'm looking for solutions: The water inlet to the water pump is a 90 degree fitting. This puts it in line with the Ring Mount with about 2 inches clearance (maybe less). I have to run my hose from there to my radiator and to get it to fit, I now have about a 1/2 inch or more offset on the hose in order to clear the backside of the Ring Mount. I don't like this as it puts stress on the rubber hose. Any ideas? Does Rotax make an inlet with perhaps a 45 degree turn instead of the 90 degree? Any help appreciated.

If so look on page 57 of the manual. You will see figures 27 and 28 showing the water pump inlet. You will see that there are six positions for this inlet. See if one of them meet your needs. If you don't have this manual get one!

I think Tommy's complaint is the 90 degree angle, not the orientation but let's see what he says. -- Craig -----Original Message----- From: owner-rotaxengines-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rotaxengines-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Hugh McKay Sent: Monday, March 29, 2010 11:04 AM Subject: Re: RotaxEngines-List: 912ULS Water Inlet Part 922 218 --> Tommy, Do you have the 912 Installation Manual?
