Thanks. If I look at other engine srl numbers around 4400961 they seem be around 2002?
1995 seems a bit early?

Hi Jeff! The records are quite clear in this case, 4400691 was produced 6th December 1995 and delivered to the Australian distributor on 18th December 1995
ROTAX serials are spread out across different production runs of numerous models of engines, so serial number can't reliably be used to accurately infer production dates.
...to illustrate, here is a random sampling of "4xxxxxx" engine serials and their distributor delivery dates:
4152030 27/01/1993
4152442 24/01/1994
4152496 24/01/1994
4153243 16/01/1995
4400691 18/12/1995
4400993 24/04/1996
4403005 31/08/1998
4407851 19/05/2006
4408662 10/07/2007
4417832 25/06/1999
4418046 12/06/2001
4428986 17/02/2003BTW, if you are actually asking about 4400961 - that engine is a 912UL produced 04-Apr-1996...
