It was a simple bar bolted to the head and a piece that is shaped like the two retainers side by side and can be connected to a 3/8" breaker bar as a lever, the valves being held in place with cord packed into the cylinder through a spark plug hole.... Troy, the alternate method worked fine for me about ten years ago. The tool and the rope came with the new retainers. =Don Maxwell Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=329440#329440 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 09:48:02 AM PST US Subject: RotaxEngines-List: JBM Rubber Carburetor Sockets For 912? From: "Goodone" Has anyone used the rubber flange type carburetor sockets for the Rotax 912 engines using the Bing model 64 carburetors made by JBM Industries in Kent, Ohio? These sockets are made in the USA and are considerably less money than the Rotax sockets (big surprise).

Those are MUCH better than the Rotax ones, and last a long long time. -- Bob Comperini e-mail: bob@fly-ul.com WWW: http://www.fly-ul.com ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 10:25:27 AM PST US Subject: Re: RotaxEngines-List: JBM Rubber Carburetor Sockets For 912? From: Richard Girard I use JBM "rubber" parts on all my Rotax and HKS engines (same as 912 sockets). Their formulation seems to resist hardening and cracking better than Rotax parts. Nice folks to deal with, too.

I use JBM sockets. They are very good quality and much more sturdy than the Rotax sockets. I have had several failures of Rotax $102.00 sockets, ( 4 to be exact ) and none with the JBM sockets. --- On Thu, 2/3/11, Goodone wrote: > From: Goodone > Subject: RotaxEngines-List: JBM Rubber Carburetor Sockets For 912? > To: rotaxengines-list@matronics.com > Date: Thursday, February 3, 2011, 9:45 AM > --> RotaxEngines-List message > posted by: "Goodone" > > Has anyone used the rubber flange type carburetor sockets > for the Rotax 912 engines using the Bing model 64 > carburetors made by JBM Industries in Kent, Ohio?
