I have an ignition problem with my Rotax 912 UL. I saw an old post of a gentleman with a Rotax 912 that had a mag drop out of spec on one side. I can't remember what the fix was.

The 2004 post said that the coil was changed and one of the ignition modules. I had heard that the ignition modules either work or they do not. No intermittent operation. Is that true? Or are there some people that have experienced a partially working ignition module (i.e. a significant drop in rpm during a mag check).

Thanks,

Kirk Martenson

I had an intermitent ignition that turned out to be a bad solder

joint. Took me a long time to locate it. I almost bought a whole

new ignition system until I got lucky one day and move the right

wire.

Kirk,

A friend had a similar problem. It occurred on the last leg into Oshkosh

two summers ago. Luckily(?) he had the Rotax booth for expert advice. They

sold him a new coil and an other guy in our group bought an ignition module

for him to try (we fly together a lot in the "wilderness" areas of the West

and the group thought spares migh come in hadnt sometime). Anyway none of

this stuff helped his problem. He had one side of the ignition that

continued to be hit and miss. The problem was traced eventually to a broken

wire deep in the wiring loom - inside the braid, I think.

Rotax, for all their virtues, still uses cheap wire in all their ignition

systems; what a long gone member of the list frequently referred to as "crap

wire". Your problem is most likely a broken wire somewhere. I can give you

the guy's name and number off list and you can call him and see what he

says.

Read Rotax 912 Maintenance manual II (heavy maintenance) - it will tell how

to test the ignition system. Also, call Lockwood repair (at) 1-863-655-6229

for further help and/or parts.

Good luck,

Jimmie:

Where was the wire, and how did you find it? I think I must have something

like that here.

Thanks,

Kirk
