914 Support

For over a year my 914 had an issue which resulted in a low power output. Additionally I have been frustrated and by a hard starting condition from the time I installed the engine into my plane. Unable to find anyone who worked on 914s in my area I was ready to remove the wings and load the plane onto a trailer and haul it up to Rotax Support in British Columbia for a solution.
I had worked with several Rotax Heavy Hitters looking for a solution. Roger Lee a contributor on this forum suggested I call Rick Wright of Copper State Aero (www.Copperstateaero.com). Rick is located at Ryan Field, on the south side of Tucson, as is Roger. Rick supports the 9 series Rotax engine especially the 914 and the up side is that Rick makes “house calls” traveling around the US pulling a 38’ trailer set up as a work shop. This is a good thing since I didn’t want to fly with the anemic output of my engine.
Rick visited my airport, and evaluated the problem based on his experience as the US representative of Stemme sail planes and solved the problem.
The bottom line is, with Rick’s involvement my engine is purring better then when it came out of the box.
Thanks
