Eric Tucker, Rotax two and four stroke "guru" explained to us in the 

last class I attended a year ago, that Rotax had a difficult time 

maintainer suppliers for any length of time.  For example, the 

question was asked, "Why doesn't Rotax put fuel injection on its 912 

series engines?"  Answer was, lack of a supplier that would stay the 

course.  It cost a great deal to certify an engine and its 

accessories, which does not affect us UL and experimenters, but does 

cost them a mint for their certified line.  Uncertified parts for 

Rotax are the same as certified except the  certified part has a 

serial number to track it, and ours don't.



Rotax has been using NGK plugs since the very early years.



I had good luck with Bosch WR4CP Platinum plugs and metal jacketed 

Boxch plug wires for a 4 cyl Volvo, about 1975 vintage.  Back in the 

mid 80's that would make two sets of wires for a 447.  Now it will 

make one set of wires for a 503 or 582.  Probably still available and 

cheaper than Rotax supplied parts.  This plug worked great on my 447. 

Never fouled another plug after I started using them and they lasted a 

very long time.

		  Howdy Kolbers, Bob Dresden here, a long time lurker on the list.  Just catching up on my mail and noticed this discussion on fuel injection.  Hard to accept that argument, as HIRTH has been offering FI for awhile, and O Yes, it's built by Bing.  I'll try to send a pic. 

      PS Lord willin, I'll be the guy at MV this year trying to beg a ride.
