| Subject: | Electrical problem with 912ULS |
A friend's engine has abt 300 hrs.
There is no spark at the plugs.
The AC voltage into the ignition modules is abt 9v.
The DC output from the modules to the coils seems to be about 2v.
Can anyone assist with past experience on this?
thanks

Roger,
The oil filter on my engine that tried to unscrew itself was a Rotax
filter(albeit the old style just before the newest one) I have only used the
Rotax filters and followed the written service procedure closely. I'll stick
with safety wiring the filter on my aircraft .
Also the NEW filter with the" internal oil valve " worked fine on my
airplane for about a month.( Kitfox 4) It stopped the siphoning in my
taildragger but now it allows the oil to drain back into the case just as the
old
one did. Have you had this problem ? This is the first new style filter I
have used. Guess I will go back to the old ones I have in stock...what a
bummer !
Keep the good words coming

Hi Dick,
Hope you aren't getting either drowned or fried with the heat and weather this
summer.
There is nothing wrong with the safety wire on the filter and I have seen only
one on a Sport Cruiser, it just shouldn't be necessary. The one I saw was a hose
clamp around the filter with the safety wire attached to that.
The check valves and the newer anti drain back membrane in the filters were added
because of a few planes like the Kit Fox oil tank positioning. I'm sure Rotax
was hoping to have this annoyance solved with the new filter. I would try another
new filter at the next change and if the problem comes back again I'm sure
Rotax would like to hear from owners about this. If it doesn't get reported
it can't get fixed. Fill out a Rotax SIR report and send it into the Rotax Safety
and Flying Club that handles all this paperwork.

Hi Peter,
Will the engine start at all?
Because of our dual ignition system it would be rare that all this would go out
at one time. it is usually a broken wire.
The spark is so hard to see on a 912 it is best looked at in a darkened atmosphere.
The voltage into the regulator with the two yellow wires should be between
18-22 volts AC. If you can't get the engine started or at least up to 240rpm
then that would be hard to measure.

Hello Thom,Dick,and Roger.
Yes i am in the UK, or England as i like to call it as i am the last Englishman
now 66years old. i live in the South East in the county of Kent which use to
be called the Garden of England, but all the Hop Fields, Apple Fields, Plum Fields,
ete have long gone.
This is my first aeroplane , a Europa 914 Biult in 2000 so i am the new boy in
town.
1. I will check what drain plug i have , and the tool for undoing it.
If is not a magnetic type plug i will try to get a new one.
As for the tool to loosen the filter i have a universal rubber strap,tool.
Maybe better to get the right tool as i will be doing it a number of time, i hope.
2.I have 2 Oil Filters Part Number 825010 (012) for 912 and 914
Not sure if its new or old type, But i like the idea of filling it with Oil even
if it is a bit messy.
The filter will probably stay on but i think i will put a strap round it and wire
it up.
3. The Oil . I have already purchased 12 litres of the Skydrive Aero lub 10/40.
Semi Synthetic oil. so will have to use it up over the next 150 hours. then go
for Aero Shell.
I fly on Unleaded Mogas , but will do a oil change every 50 hours regardless.
4. The Gear Box magnetic Plug, ?? Will have to look for it.!
Does it require a new washer ??
6. I purchased the plain from a guy who i think spent very little on the aircraft,
and probably did nothing from one annual check to the next. You get that Gut
feeling. I paid about 3 or 4000 over the top but in the UK few Tri Gears come
up and i could be 67 before the next one.
Regards
Alan
