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. =Don Maxwell Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=435209#435209 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message rotaxengines-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/RotaxEngines-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/rotaxengines-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/rotaxengines-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
