Hi guys,



After some hit and miss starting, I finally gave in and bought two new 

ignition modules which I installed today.



Engine burst into life immediately upon starting.



The only problem is that when I do a 'mag' check, the engine runs fine 

on one 'mag/module' but the engine stops when I switch to the other.



I will recheck my wiring of course particularly yellow and white wires 

to the ignition coils (which I had to think about which was which but 

I'm pretty sure I got them going to the correct white wires coming out 

of the coils).



I have the 'old style' 4-pin plug modules.



I'm open to ideas on what else I might check.



regards,

Martin Tuck

Definitely a wiring problem....unless the new module is duff. Earth problems are a favorite......maybe try switching around the modules and see if it replicates. Good Luck



Kind Regards

Hi Martin. I have the same 4 pin modules and had a similar problem. When I changed to one of the circuits my 914 ran rough. I bought the new ignitech modules and still had the same issue. The only way I rectified it was to buy new rotax modules. What I did find out during my investigations was that the ignition modules are wired up to the coils differently for a rotax 912 then a 914. On a 912 A module runs 2 upper and 2 lower plugs but on the 914 module A runs all the top plugs and B runs all the bottom.

Martin,

I had the same problem. Bought expensive new modules and after a lot of messing about - it was the stator that was defective!!

Swap the red wires over - if the problem changes from L to R (or R to L) - stator fault. Also try the same on the pickups.
