    Default Rotax engine - where to get maintenance info?

    Where do I go for all things rotax?

    Torque specs on the bolts, mount ring installation, care and feeding, etc...

    I'm working on mounting the ring to my used engine and I see that the ignition parts that bolt next to the flywheel have some adjustment available. Is there a feeler gauge setting? Do the four bolts get safety wire or loctite? what bolts do I need and what torque of these four bolts?

    With so many of these engines out there, I thought I would be able to find everything using google.

    Thanks guys

    All engine manuals are here free on PDFs. All of the step by step details are in them.

    Thanks. I did visit that site a few hundred times. Is it worth the $30 to subscribe?

    Tim,

    You do not have to subscribe to get the engine manuals.

    Click on the link Larry provided

    Go to the top of the page and select support/bulletins - go to engine manuals - you can download (or open and save to your computer) as many of the PDF manuals as you want...its free.

    I understand the free areas and thank you.

    I meant to ask if anyone subscribes to the site to get the extra goodies. Is that worth the $30. I may do it for one year.

    I subscribed for one year and found it very useful. Its nice to watch a video the first time you do a carb sync, a compression test, an oil purge, etc. After that first year I dropped it.

    hi guys, I am also looking for the torque values for the ring mount/ engine interface for the 912 ULS and it seems the installation manual makes no mention --- any idea where I can find that?
