Hi there



I'm a newbie to the list and don't know that I've quite figured out how to search the archives for this question.  But i am wondering if anyone has used a Rotax 670 from Rotax Rick to power their Mk III Classic.  I'm in Colorado and need the extra HP but can't quite bring myself to break the bank for a 912.  Seems like Rick has them priced well.  Would love to hear the experience folks have with this aircraft/engine combination



Many thanks!



Mike

I don't have experience with the 670 but I have a high regard for Rotax Rick. I doubt you'll find a more experienced & knowledgeable Rotax mechanic than Rick. I bought a used Firestar II with a Rotax 503 that he rebuilt and it runs beautiful. I told him my 12 year old engine looks brand new and he said he always sand blasts the outer casing during a rebuild. Here is a thread about the Rotax 670 that Rick does, very interesting... http://ppcflyingforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8540

Yes, I ran my 690 from 2003 till 2014 on my Mk 3.

Fine running smooth engine especially when I converted to 28mm Mikuni carbs.

Took it off to replace it with a Rotax 670 in 2014 and would make you a great deal on the whole package with rads mounts and many extra parts.
