    That's very frustrating Paul. Have you gotten an official/written response from Rotax corporate when you brought this to their attention?

    Cluemeister, no I have not pursued this directly with top rotax management. I would assume they would monitor customer feedback through forums such as this to improve there product. I have found that real life customer feedback is one of the most important aspects of improving a product.

    Amazingly, Bryan Toepher from CPS has been able to respond quickly to diagnose the problem BUT it just happened that I was able to contact him. Running a business that requires the rotax engine to be running can not allow some waiting period when he is out of contact/service.

    I have thousands of hours on the rotax carb engines and have no problem figuring out what is the problem. The fuel injected engines is a different story.

    Hopefully rotax will get the message. Right now I am steering people away from the fuel injected 912 and 915 engine because of this problem.

    You will need to connect a Buds Dongle to the ECU to find out what the fault was. Without this data anyone would simply be guessing at the cause.


    Question - are the dongles interchangeable between the 912iS and 915iS or are they engine specific?

    Since new, my Lane B light comes on half the time when I'm warming up the engine on the tarmac at 2,500 rpm.  I reset it, and it never comes back on again for the rest of the day. Don't know what that means.  Around 50 hours on the engine now.

    Richard,

    Like Jim Said "You will need to connect a Buds Dongle to the ECU to find out what the fault was. Without this data, anyone would simply be guessing at the cause."

     

    And Jim, (from 3 months ago),

    As far as I know, the dongles work on both the 912iS and 915iS series engines
