I have had lots of CKT springs break. I have tried heat resistant silicon made
no difference. I have a complete spare set in the aircraft and change regularly.
I was told it was an old problem and the new springs would be ok. They arent and
I am glad its not just me experiencing issues.
Engine is smooth with no different vibrations than any other 912ULS.

were stainless steel. Stainless steel does not like contact vibration and
the constant contact microwelding quickly rubs through the wire. I have used
galvanised spring steel for about 15 years without a breakage.
