I am getting ready for the first start of my 915.  I checked all of my switches for Fuel pumps, Lanes and start and backup EMS power.  All check out on the switch side.

I have never operated a Rotax before so I read the operators manual and the start sequence as I understand it is:

1.  Fuel pump check with one left on for start

2. Lanes A and B powered up.  I assumed this would light the A and B warning lights

3. Apply engine start power

4. Hit the starter.

I have my fuel pumps connected using the engine harness connectors so that power comes through the fusebox.  When I turn on the fuel pumps, I get nothing.  When I turn on Lanes A and B, I get nothing.

In looking at the schematic again, I don’t see how the fusebox would be getting power to run the pumps before the engine start switch is close, as the only “permanent” power connection is the output from the generator on X3-3, but that is listed as an output, not an input.

I thought the Lane switches might provide power to the ECUs, but since the lane lights aren’t coming on, I am not sure if these switches just turn on the ECUs assuming they have power from the fusebox.

Can someone tell me how the fusebox gets power to run the fuel pumps before the start power switch is engaged?

And can you tell me if the ECUs are powered from the fusebox and only turned on by the Lane switches or should the lane switches actually provide power to the ECUs?

Lastlly, should the Lane warning lights come on when the lane switches are closed?

I understand these are rookie questions, but I am a rookie when it comes to the 915.

Thanks in advance.
