I have flown my 914 powered Europa all round Europe (around 30 countries) using Mogas. In Austria & Germany where Rotax engines are especially common something like half of all airfields have Moga ...

Does anyone know whether it's feasible to operate a Rotax 914 on regular-grade MOGAS in countries where premium and 100LL are not available? (I know that Rotax specifies 91 octane or better.)

In case you're dying to know about the weight of floats in 914 carbs:

Of 4 new floats, 3 weigh 2.8 g and 1 weighs 2.7 g.

Or 2 weigh 42 grains and 2 weigh 44 grains. Interesting way to demonstra ...

Does anyone know the weight of new floats for the Bing 64 carbs used in Rotax 914s? (Or 912s.) I've searched this site and the web but haven't turned up anything.
