A new “Revision 1” of the Service Letter SB-912-016 for ROTAX 912 (Series) engines, and the Service Letter SL-914-014 for ROTAX 914 (Series) engines is now available online in PDF format. This service letter provides essential information on engine behavior, performance, and manifold pressure data.

Today’s revision contains important new information for operators and installers alike. It lays out the latest recommendations on these topics:

  • Engine load (power setting) and its effect on the possibility of detonation and/or pre-ignition
  • Idle speed setting
  • Carburetor synchronization
  • Using high fuel quality
  • Balancing of the propeller
  • Compliance with installation specification to the exhaust back pressure
  • Compliance with the required airbox temperature


This service letter is a must-read! We’ll be covering some of these topics in more detail in the new year…
