FYI,
I would advise everyone with a Rotax engine to go to Rotax-owner.com and download all 5 manuals. You absolutely will need them and they have almost all the info you'll need. They are your engine Bible.

Is module A the one that mounts on top or the bottom? I am suspecting a bad module on my ignition A as when I perform the ignition check, when ignition switch B is switched off, the engine quits. This is an intermittent problem. Installed a buddy's modules and all is good. Has anyone seen this before?

I have posted a few times that I had BOTH modules fail between 400 - 500 hours. Get a reduced price PAIR of soft-start from Lockwood, or one of the major suppliers. My first started showing on/off cycles, then failed all together. The second just stopped working.

My theory is these things cook after the engine is cut off and no air flow in the tight canopy. I have been opening the oil door after shut off to allow hot air to escape. These modules should last longer than 260 hours.
Thanks JB.

Hey Dave - -
I have also posted pictures of THERMAL TEMP STRIPS on the places that should show ultimate temps reached at any point. I trust them. The ign modules are at 140 degrees F. The Rec/Reg is at 150 degrees F. I would advise putting them on. I think they give us a good idea of what temps are being reached. True, a hot spot opposite the temp strip might miss a spike, but I think the heat builds slowly and fairly uniformly in these areas.

I ordered a new pair of modules today. They are on back order and no one has them, should be a month or so for delivery. All of the sources said that they have had a run on these over the past few months. Also, no joy with help from Rotax on them. Apparently it has been determined that they are getting too hot in our application.

When these ignition modules go bad, do they fail completely or is it possible that they could only affect 1 plug or 2 etc?
Thanks, Steve
