Value of 914UL engine?
in 912 / 914 Technical Questions
5 years ago
Hi Rotax experts,
I am purchasing a used Rotax 914UL engine from a friend to replace the engine that failed in my Kitfox last year.
A friend has an old 914UL engine that has sat in a box for a few years and was running when taken out of service for a newer engine. The engine was replaced because of some rough running episodes and the age. He has given me the engine to check out and has asked me to pay him what I think it is worth.
The engine serial no is: 9576133
The engine was involved in a prop strike at about 300 hours and was rebuilt and had the crankshaft changed after that incident. It has now got 1300 hours on it and has been maintained by a local AMO. All the rest of the engine is the same.
I intend to use only the block from the old engine, and replace everything else with parts from my engine that failed and had only done 85 hours, so they are nearly new.
The question I want to ask is, what do you think the engine or the engine block from that old engine is worth, so I can pay him a fair price for it?
Thanks in advance for replies
