Alan,
Good luck with the FLYdat reset. Perhaps if you have to spend that 880 on a new
ignition module they will reset the FLYdat for free.
Seems to be a lot of Ducati parts on a Rotax engine. It would be nice if we
could
come up with the Ducati part numbers so we could just go the the motorcycle
parts dealer and get them there.
Actually, over here, the spark plug cap, item #39, page 70 Lockwood Rotax
9-Series
Illustrated Parts Catalog, Part #265 240, is listed at $29.95 each (19.27).
The Electronic Modules are $925.86 each (595.82). The difference must be your
VAT.
I hope you can get by spending a lot less than those prices.
Blue skies & tailwinds,

Hi Bob.
Thank you for your detailed reply, I agree with all of your comments.
I purchased the aircraft on 8th June and it was ferried to Headcorn on the 20th,
this is when i found the rough running on the left mag,
So its been a month and i have not even flown it yet.
I have managed to talk to the previous owner and he tells me the Flydat has been
showing "Service" for some time, and is brought about by exceeding a parameter,
say a prop over-speed, and only Rotax can Reset the unit at probably some
extortionate cost .
He has been flying with the unite like this for some years,,
This is not good practice, and i am not sure if the warning lights do there pre
start checks with Service showing, will check tomorrow.
Also i am not happy with the mag drop .
Having said this i understand a little, as this is Rip Off England,you pay 50
bucks for a Spark Plug Cap, and we pay 33 (47 dollars).
But it looks like i will have to have this Reset and most likely a Technician
to sort out the mags, as i have changed the plugs,leads,caps, so now special
test
needed, as these ECU are 880 each, apparently a Ducati motor cycle part with
a different number ???
Regards.
Alan
