Subject: Europa-List: Carburetter heating Rotax 912S
So far I have been told that a 912S on an Europa does not require a car heater
due to several reasons. Last week during an engine run up at the platform the
engine
quited due to......,yep carb ice.I have to say that the engine cowlings
were not mounted at the time.
One of the fellow builders draw my attention to the heating kit CH-912-3 912
from
Skydrive. Any help and comments are highly appreciated. Cheers. Sven den Boer

Hi Sven,
I fitted the Skydrive carb heater kit from new based on various inputs including
photos on the Skydrive website of ice in a 912S carb throat. It is permanently
on and I now have 370 trouble-free hours of time. I believe that Skydrive's
claim of no effect on engine power is correct.
Cheers, John
