Rotax 912 - 80-hp - Zenith Aircraft Company (404 words)
Manufactured by Bombardier's Rotax subsidiary, the Rotax 912 is a new-generation light aircraft engine.
The engine is FAA-certified in the United States (though builders of experimental aircraft typically install the non-certified model, the Rotax 912 UL).
The high-quality exhaust system is developed to provide years of maintenance-free operation, and is custom-made for the ZODIAC series and the STOL CH 701.
Rotax aircooled aircraft engine troubleshooting, Rotax 185, 277, 377, 503 troubleshooting reports Volume 2 (2970 words)
The exhaust system supplied by Rotax is specially tuned, to provide the best performance and reliability possible, some manufacturers in adapting this exhaust system to their design have changed the tuning length of the exhaust to better fit the cosmetics of their design.
Rotax has introduced a new engine cowling for use on the 377,447, and 503 engines which directs more air to the magneto cylinder, making for a cooler running engine.
Upon closer examination it was found that the aluminum intake manifold, on the single carburetor equipped 377/447/503 had cracked in the area of the bolts used to fasten it to the cylinders or at the point where the outer half of the manifold joins to the inner half on the 503.
