Hello Erik,
I just read your post on the Rotax-Owners site. The issue you described has
long plagued many 914 owners. Jim Butcher and I recently published an
article in the Europa Flyer addressing this issue (and others) as well as a
fix. If you aren't a member you might consider joining. Good information
specific to the Europa is disseminated. As a result of the COVID-19 the
Europa Club held its annual membership meeting virtually. I must say, using
ZOOM opened up the audience internationally with many USA builders able to
join, myself included.
Anyway, specific to the loose float bowl, I modified the float bowl to
accept the 912 spring clamp which provides the requisite pressure on the
gasket as it ages and shrinks. The bolt is still utilized, however, the
clamping pressure is provided by the spring clip. Pretty straight forward
modification requiring that the cast nub on the bottom of the float bowl,
adjacent to the bolt hole, be removed. This allows the spring clip to fully
seat. I used a Dremel, although, a file will do the trick.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Kind regards,
Erich
N28ET Classic Mono 914
