New Rotax Revised Service Instruction
Rotax has issued Revised Service Instruction SI-912-020/914-022 R7 Revision
7, covering running modifications on the
Rotax engine type 912/914 series. This
service instruction lists the latest modifications that have been made to Rotax
four-stroke engines and components.
The document is for informational
purposes only, and there are no
requirements for action or component
replacement. Of note in Revision 7 is a
change in the way that fuel pumps are
provided as spare parts. The new fuel
pumps will be supplied as bare fuel
pumps with no fuel lines or fittings attached. Fittings or fuel line assemblies
are available as individual spare parts
to accommodate any style of fuel line
connection to the fuel pump.
Also of note is the introduction of
new style cylinder heads. Cylinder
heads on newly produced engines,
and soon the supply of replacement
cylinder heads, will be changed to
the same new casting design used
on the 912iS fuel-injected engine.
Aircraft OEMs are encouraged to
carefully review this entire document
to see whether any of the changes
will affect their engine installations.
