Hi Steve,
Before hacking up a module just make sure you don't have intermittent
wires to the module. On both our plane (912S) and another 912S that we
know of there were wires broken at the connectors but held in contact by
the insulation (most of the time).
We could not find the break with a volt meter, but just ran the engine
with the cowl off and had someone wiggle/pull on the wires one at a time
to see if it effected the engine operation (please stay clear of the
prop).
Just a thought,

hi,
a freind of mine with a new 912S on its first hour of flight has had a
magneto / ignition module failure, it is the lower of the two labeled
module "B", i have lent him mine so that he can complete the test flying
of the zenair, as the motor is about 2 years old, rotax will not honor
the warranty, anyone come across this and is it common?
i will be taking a hacksaw and avo to the module should he not get
anywhere with Rotax,
