I live in central Alabama and the temperature today was about 70 degrees F.
My 912ULS is a little over 1 year of use and 186 hours. When I try to star
t on the ignition with the soft-start module only. I tried today for a long
er period with the soft start ignition only - no start. As soon as I turned
on the other ignition it cranked. Sometimes when this happens I can feel t
he kickback I read so much about.-I installed the soft start to prevent t
his.=0A-=0AAny ideas?=0A=0ASTAN 2=0AN29TD

I got the feeling you are confusing the two magneto switches so when you
think that you kill the soft start module you actually the other one. Doing
lots of troubleshooting in this area of my S6S I learned how confusing can
it be=85.

Stan:
I just can't believe the loyal following the ROTAX engine has.
All I ever read about are problems piled upon problems. Two in the past
four day right here on this group. It seems like "Buy a ROTAX and you
become a member of the SB-of the Month Club." It would be AD of the Month
Club, but the FAA just did not see inclined to to handle all the problems.
AS IF: They knew better.
I am putting a lot of time into finding a 601 that I can put an O-200 on.
I'm an old fart looking at LSA and want to FLY, not build or do constant
repairs. I'll still do A&P work... It is really... You work... I'll sign
it off.
LQQKing hopefully,
Barry

With all due respect, the only people you hear from on the list, are those that
are experiencing problems, or from newbies who are still learning. The thousands
of us who have no problems with our engines rarely post "Nothing happened
this week, engine running great!" posts to this list. The 912 has been a very
reliable engine, and the number of problems or questions are very few, compared
to the number of people using these engines. They've been in production since
1990(?), so there are plenty of them out there, and a lot of hours flown.
