I'm considering upgrading my 912UL in my model IV with a 912ULS.  

I'd like some thoughts and information.



Is this generally a good or a bad idea? Why?



Is the 912ULS a "plug-in" replacement? That is, would the engine  

mounts need to be changed? The accessories? The instrumentation?



Just wanted the list's input before talking to a dealer.



Thanks,



Lyle Persels

Lyle,

	Depending on the age of your engine mount it may need to be replaced or

upgraded... Give a shout.. we can go over some of the details... We can also

help with your engine order.

John,



Thanks for the response. And if you can help with the purchase,  

you'll certainly be my dealer. The Model IV serial # is BDU 156. My  

partner and I purchased it in 1994.

I changed the 912 UL to the 912 ULS in my Speedster.

I am very happy with the increased performance. The ULS will fit the 

origional mount, but the mount and exhaust pipe must be reinforced as per 

Skystars's service bulletin.

Also I destroyed three oil coolers until I got the oil cooler and mount from 

Skystar. No further problems.

HI, I think that my 912ULS was one of the first installations in a Kitfox 

Model IV.  Everything fits perfect (except the forward engine mounts were 

about 3/16 forward and wouldn't fit.  The one on the right was no proglem as 

it as flattened tube and could be drilled out and an an insert inserted.  

The left was a problem as it was a short welded piece of tubing that the 

bolt fed through.  Tube had to be cut and a short length added.  The 

installation of the 912ULS made it the best Kitfox made.  I had it installed 

in Dec 1999.  Have over 1100 hours, no engine cracks or anything on 

airframe.  Have a startup procedure that is as smooth as glass.  Clint
