Has anyone received their check gauge yet (part number 876260)?  In January I asked the US distributor of my airplane when they expected to get the gauges from the factory in Europe and they said the factory told them they weren't getting any.

 

Roger,

Any new info on how to get one.  My engine is registered with Rotax (I still have the email confirming this).

 

Thanks.

My serial number is 48 418. By my reading I have escaped this service bulletin. Am I correct in that?

[FlyingMonkey]

All the affected engines start with a 677xxxx. These are are fairly new engines in the 2012 year and bled into the 2013 year.

 

Your engine is prior to these dates.

Thanks Roger!

Dan,

 

I received the gauge from Sport Air about three weeks ago. When received it should be kept, with instructions, in the Rotax tool pouch that came with the aircraft.

[Dan Kent]

Thanks Rich.

 

I sent you a PM on this.

Just to close the loop on this, I got the feeler gauge this past Friday.  What I was told by my plane distributor is that the main Rotax distributors in the US are now the ones that will provide the gauge as long as your engine is registered with Rotax.  I contacted Lockwood and they sent me the gauge for free.  I did order some oil and filters so if you get the gauge by itself you may have to pay the freight.

ANYONE AWARE OF CASES IN WHICH ROTAX 914 677XXX SERIES OF ENGINES FAIL THE CHECK MENTIONED IN SB

[FlyingMonkey]

Since these engines are relatively new with a known issue, what would be the recourse if one failed?  Would Rotax repair/replace parts as needed on the engine?
