I remain amazed that no-one has yet come up with an add-on for the Rotax
that replaces the carburettors and magnetos with multipoint electronic
injection and electronic ignition. The benefits would seem obvious: better
economy, more power, longer TBO, better starting, etc.
The more I think about it, the more I think the Europa community is big
enough to drive such an exercise. Anyone else interested?

I found exactly the same with the 912 and came to the same conclusion. Time
Rotax gave us fuel injection.
I believe Ellison did a throttle body installation for the 912. I had good
experience with one on a Lycosaurus but haven't heard about any Rotax
installations
