** Important Note!

Rotax releases separate Service Bulletins for non-certified engine models.  

These service bulletins only contain information regarding the 

non-certified engine models affected by the service bulletin.

Full service bulletin information and instructions are found in the 

certified service bulletin (without the UL designator).

Owners and operators of non-certified engine models must download and 

review both the certified and UL versions of the service bulletin to obtain 

complete service information. This e-mail update is provided as a free 

service to registered users.

SERVICE BULLETIN SUMMARY:

THIS SUMMARY IS GENERAL IN NATURE AND ARE NOT INTENDED TO REPLACE THE 

INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE SERVICE BULLETINS.

ALL OWNERS, OPERATORS AND MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL SHOULD OBTAIN AND CAREFULLY 

REVIEW THE FULL TEXT OF EACH SERVICE BULLETIN.

In a limited number of cases, certain conditions may lead to increased wear 

on the camshaft and/or hydraulic lifters.  Examination of the amount and 

consistency of the residue captured on the engine magnetic plug can help to 

determine if increased camshaft / hydraulic lifter wear is occurring.

Owners and operators of all affected engines must have the engine magnetic 

plug inspected as per the schedules set out in the Alert Service Bulletins.

IMPORTANT NOTE!

Section 1.1 of the Alert Service Bulletins (Engines Affected), sets out 

certain serial number ranges where compliance with Section 1.5a (inspection 

of magnetic plug prior to engine installation or first engine start up) has 

already been accomplished prior to engine delivery.  Please note that these 

engines must still comply with all of the remaining items found in Section 

1.5 – Compliance including a one time inspection of magnetic plug within 

the next 5 hours of operation and inspection of the magnetic plug at each 

engine oil change thereafter.

If owners or operators have any questions regarding the engine serial 

numbers affected by this Alert Service Bulletin or the specific compliance 

steps required for any particular engine serial number, they should contact 

their nearest authorized distributor or service center as soon as possible.

SERVICE NOTE - REMOVAL OF MAGNETIC PLUG!

Field experience has indicated that extra care must be used when removing 

the magnetic plug. To prevent damage to the magnetic plug, removal of the 

magnetic plug should only be attempted using a high quality (i.e. Snap-On 

brand) TORX 40 driver.  DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE MAGNETIC PLUG WITH AN 

ALLEN WRENCH ON AFFECTED ENGINES!

For additional instructions or assistance with magnetic plug removal, 

please contact your nearest Authorized Service Center.

This e-mail update is provided as a free service to registered users.

Karl.



My understanding is:-



1). Click on the relevant bulletin below or cut and paste the URL into

internet explorer, ASB-912-051 or ASB-914-034 (the UL are for

ultralights), This will load the full bulletin from Rotax provided you

are on line. 

2). Check if the bulletin is relevant for your engine. (my engine number

is before that listed in the 912 section). If your engine is not one

listed then ignore the bulletin.  If it is, then 

3). Unscrew the magnetic plug with a torx 40 driver and check for

particles. If there are a lot of bits stuck to the plug, as in the

picture, then the engine has to be checked before being used again. 



I personally check the plug at every oil change and have found virtually

no particles.



Hope this helps.
