Thread: Where to buy Carburetor manifold

    Default Where to buy Carburetor manifold

    Hello everyone! First off it's a pleasure to be in this group chat! Me and my dad and a couple friends own a Kit Fox Series 5 Vixen and today we found that the Carburetor Manifold was broken (I apologize in advance if the name of the part is accurate, they don't really teach engine parts in English school hahaha but I'll add a picture) and we want to purchase a original new one (the engine is a Rotax 912) if you could tell us where we could purchase it I'll bee incredibly grateful)

    Try the rotax dealer locator

    https://dealerlocator.flyrotax.com/


    I think Kodia Research in Nassau is responsible for Rotax affairs in Brazil.
    There should be a small number of rotax representatives in in Brazil

    There is an FBO near Goiania who may be able to help with your carburetor flange replacement.

    Hi Rayssa,

    It looks like you probably need a Rotax 912 Series Bing 64 socket ("carb boot"). The Rotax part is #267-787. However, many people have had excellent experience with one made by JBM Industries. They claim it is of better construction than the original, but I have no personal experience about that. I think there are others on this forum who can speak about that. The company's website is - http://jbmindustries.com .
    They do ship to other countries, including Brazil I believe.

    Good luck!

    I am currently running the JBM carburetor sockets. I have been for quite some time without issue. I found them to be made to a higher quality standard than the Rotax originals.
