<<1) SB-912-030 - with the Europa airbox supported off the engine mount this

Not really. My reading of that SB is that it only applies if you have
Rotax's airbox fitted.
There has been at least one case of failed carb sockets with the EAL airbox
fitted.
See:

However, this doesn't necessarily mean that it does not happen with the
Rotax airbox as well!
