    Default Let er buck.

    After 9 months and a few dollars, look what showed up today.
    This is getting hung tonight.
    Good, bad, or ugly, here goes.
    Very impressed with the whole package.
    Top notch from wiring to exhaust.
    155 hp 912STI package on a brand new 912ULS.
    At least it was purchased last year before the price hike.
    Almost did the yamaha, but the kitfox mount was in the process of getting remodeled when I was ordering so stuck with rotax.
    Anyone need a nice carb syncing tool, have one that hopefully will never need again, lol.

    Quick four bolts, probably most instant gratification per minute, now the work starts for real.
    Wonder which Rotax has the bigger turbo, the 155 hp or the 220 hp one, lol.

    I bought an intercooler with the engine, but it is shipping later.
    If it takes too long might have to take you up on that one.
    Thanks for answering all my goofy questions about the engine last year, really helped to figure which way to go.

    Aluminum header tank in, fuel lines made up and ran.
    Pumps, pressure regulator, ecu, turbo actuator mounted and fuel filter temporarily hung.
    Ran out of
    firesleeve, need to order some more.
    Filled header tank and ran the pumps, to my great relief, no leaks.

    Do you use a fwf kit or does that stuff come with the engine?
