I bought the Rotax carb drip bowls but unfortunately also bought the carb h
eater kit (runs radiator water around the engine side of the carb through a
maniford that moves the carbs about =BE" back - and the Rotax carb drip b
owls don't fit - I attempted to cut it a bit to make it fit but no luck. I
then made up trays myself out of aluminum. I have pictures if anyone wants
them.
I live in the Northeast and icing is an issue - so I felt the heater kit wa
s a necessity.

A heat shield below the carb bowls is not essential but highly desirable. O
therwise the fuel will boil when taxiing on a hot day.
You can easily make them yourself out of something like firewall material w
ith a small aluminum bracket, which is attached to the top bolt of the exha
ust pipe.
