    Hi All, This is my first post on the Rotax List. I usually only monitor the Europa List. I am discovering I may need to do a service bulletin on my 912ULS Ser.No 4425662. It involves replacing the valve spring retainers. I was just wondering if anyone can offer any experience or advice. I looked at the price of the Jig Assembly to aid in getting them off and back on and it is 356.00 best case and the kit itself is around 260.00. I live in NC and a long way from any Rotax Repair Station. Any advice. Thanks.
