Ignition Module Failure
in 912 / 914 Technical Questions
11 years ago
I have an 06 model 912ULS, Started having start problems. For a while if i started it every day
It would start fine, but if i waited 2 or 3 days no spark.(From either side) I would remove the plugs and Ground them out on the engine to prove this. I read somewhere that heat applied to the module would produce Spark.I tried and it worked. After talking to a rotax mech i heard i was a first, that most folks put a ziplock bag of ice on the top module and that also will do the job. Guess what: I tried and it works!
Aircraft has been down over a month cant get the new advanced soft start module kit from Rotax Still
Back ordered.Engine has 350 Hrs. My question is there is a known problem out there with a certain batch
Of modules, people are starting & flying in this manner which I dont think is the prescribed manner.
What does it take for Rotax to initiate a service bulletin or an alert service bulletin on this matter.
At the price of theses modules it would be nice if they treated them like fuel pumps.
Anyone out there with this problem.
