From: "danb" Hello, I am currently wiring my 912uls which has the heavy duty starter. I was not sure how many amps it drew and have had trouble finding this info (I'm sure it's nesteled somewhere in the Rotax pages). The question: How many amps will it draw and what size wire should be run to the starter? My Kitfox came with #6AWG, however it was written prior to the heavy duty starter development.

It depends on how far the run will be from your battery to the starter itself. The longer the run the bigger the wire you will be needing. While you are at it make sure the grounds coming back to the battery from the engine are hefty too. Let us know how long your run will be and then we can make an estimation on the gauge of wire to use. I say we because I'm sure this is the kind of question that will get lots of replies.
