    Oft quoted: Rotax produce a guide to tacho problems which is available on line. One of the solutions suggested is to solder a 100 or 200 ohm resistor across the trigger coil (or tach) terminals.

    Will this work on a Pulsar III? I have a 912S Rotax and I am nearly done with building my aircraft. I'm not too familiar with the use of an air box assy. Is it required on the older model Rotax? Thanks. Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=293154#293154
