Starting Issues
I have been having a conundrum of starting issues for the last few months. It has become gradually more difficult to start my Rotax 912 ULS. Now when I go to start it sometimes it will not start at all and then I'll go out the next day and it will fire right up. When I cannot start it I always check and there is fuel in the carb bowls and all the plugs look good. If I troubleshoot the modules by heating them up ometimes that will help and other times it doesn't make a difference.
A friend of mine let me borrow a couple of his newer style ignition modules and the plane starts up every time. I went through each module and tried to start it while only having one installed at a time. The newer style modules both started it. One of the older style modules didn't even come close to starting it and the other one was close but also wasn't able to start it.
Out of curiosity I also tried one of his older style modules that was suspected to be working but it also wasn't able to start it. Is it possible that I have 3 ignition modules that are all bad or can there be another reason that some days it wont start and the next it will work perfectly? My mag checks look good on all of the modules at all RPMS, the battery is fine.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
