Rotax 912

Postby OzGyro » Sat Jan 02, 2010 9:12 pm

Hi All

If I was in the market for a secondhand Rotax 912ULS, where would I start looking (apart from here and Avcom of course)?

Hi Darren

I know of a 912 that needs to be zero'd which might be worthwhile looking into?
Price is between R35 and R40k. if you're interested let me know and I will send you the owners details, you can negotiate directly with him (he is in the UK but has a rep here)

Hi All

Ok so if I manage to track down a rotax engine that needs Zero timing, who should I be talking to to do the work? has anyone had recent experience that could give me a ball park figure on costs? I know there are a lot of variables but any info is more than welcome.

Cheers
Darren

Gideon is your man. At first he might seems a little cranky on the phone, but he has difficulty hearing. He is actually very helpfull and one of the best. oh 8 33 7100 91
