Here's an update on Rick's post:
I just talked on the phone with Dean at Lockwood. He says that Rotax hasn't yet
announced a remedy for the bad float problem (other than to check them every
25 hours) and therefore Lockwood still has the old, potentially bad, floats. He
says that float replacement will work like a standard warranty claim. You buy
new floats and submit a warranty claim for the bad floats.
You'll need to demonstrate that the floats actually are bad--by weighing them individually
or by photographing them floating in gasoline while in a carb bowl.
I think he said that the pin should be at the fuel level; if not, they're bad.
(A 912 bowl will work as well as a 914 bowl and is easier because you don't
have to hold the bigfat bolt and o-ring in there to keep the gas from running
out.)
In the meantime, all engines, carbs, and floats in the worry range should be checked
every 25 hours. That includes brand new floats that you might buy to replace
your bad ones--until Rotax gets the float supply problem fixed.
