    It "should" work. Specs on this thing are hard to come by.

    You may want one of these to. Compression tester extension.

    It is my understanding that small cylinder bore engines such as the ROTAX 912 are best evaluated by a compression tester with an appropriately-sized* differential orifice. Lockwood, CPA, LEAF, ACS, etc. all sell this tester. Make sure it has the 12 mm adapter required to fit the 912's spark plug holes.

    * See 912 Line Maint Manual: Orifice jet*, of 1mm (0.04 in) inner diameter and 3 mm (0.12 in) length. * or equivalent e.g. orifice diameter 0.040 in., long 0.0250 in., 60° degree approach angle according to AC43.13, latest issue
