I recently had a failure in one of my Rotax Electronic Modules which of course meant I was running on 4 plugs instead of 8. I was able to switch the input to the modules and the problem changed. I then switched the output and found no change. It wasn't difficult then to isolate the B module. All three Rotax dealers were helpful but only one had the item on hand which they shipped today. Be sure to register your Rotax to have a chance at warranty compensation...they look that up on the computer when you first call. They send a warranty packet for you to fill out and return with the module. It goes to Canada where Rotax has a bench to test your claim. Once varified, they send you a check. Meanwhile you can purchase a new part and take your chance that its varified or your can wait....depends on how confident you are on your troubleshooting. Unfortunately, the modules are Ducati which made the same regulator that blew up on me...hmmmmm. I still love the airplane and engine and would never let this change my mind...lord knows how much money I spent on Lycomings....and they never got 4 gph on car gas.

i wonder if the module is common enough you could get it from a ducati dealer?

By "electronic module" do you mean the ignition module? I know the alternator regulator is a standard Ducati part, but I'm not sure about the ignition modules. It's worth a try, though, since the Ducati alternator regulator is about 30% the price of the Rotax branded part.

It is a rotax 912 only part. We tried to source them a long time ago and found their are other parts that would work but the timing curves are wrong as are the connectors. They are not a high failure item. You will find that most dealers don't stock them. Regulators on the other hand are a different story.....
