As per another thread, there have been many revised plan pages added to the Van's website. I found two items of note for those that have recently installed their powerplant. Firstly, section 45 now describes the installation of a soft start wiring harness (page 45-07 and part number WH-0007). This is subsequently attached to the ignition module per a new page in section 46 (46-13). I received my powerplant kit after the effective date of these pages (they were effective 2/22/10) but my kit did not include this new harness. However, my Rotax does have the soft start ignition module (identified by a yellow sticker). Anyone else noted this? I am not sure if the engine should even be started if it has this feature but no soft start harness has been installed. I have posed the question to Van's tech support and also asked whether they will be sending the harness to those that have engines with soft start modules. Looks relatively easy to add (attaches to the solenoid) and I cannot see that anything else is required.
Also noticed the addition of a 'friction comb' to the cabin heat cable.
Scott- any insight on either of these items?
