Sorry for this question from a gross ignoramus.
I constantly see talk about a b-box or e-box for a rotax engine. Can someone clarify for me what gearboxes are available, and the difference between them ?
Just for interest sake.

Howdy,
Correct me if I am wrong...but the B box is pull start and the C and E is electric start...

Negative,
Only the E box is "E"lectric start.
C and E boxes is a lot stronger than the B box in terms of inertia and loading that they can take.

Then clears that question also up - two gearboxes - same ratios.
