On the Rotax 912 UL engine wiring diagram one 22,000 UF capacitor at 25V is shown in the circuit. If you cannot find one capacitor of the exact Capacitance, can one larger capacitor be used? Can two 10,000 aluminum electrolytic capacitors connected in parallel at that point in the circuit accomplish the same thing?

EBay has all kinds of 22,000 mf capacitors.  Here are a few with free shipping.  Super cheap:

Hi Hugh,

I have 22K caps if you need one.

The 22K is just a Rotax minimum. You can use larger. Rotax now uses 2 x 33K caps in the 912iS engine. The larger caps like 33K, 40K or 50K will work better than the 22K. The larger the cap capacitance the larger the physical size. The small cap like the 22K usually needs to have ends soldered on while the bigger caps have screw on terminals.

Get the 105c temp rated ones.

Keep in mind that capacitors have a limited lifetime.  The electrolites
dry out.  It is a real limit at high altitudes and dry climates.

I get mine from digikey and go for the name brands.

Y'all might look over your capacitors at the next annual.  Good ones
have dates on them and you can find the recommended lifetimes.

Totally agree!
Ebay is a great place to shop for 2 and 4 cycle parts. Some people complain about Ebay but I've never had trouble in years of using it & have saved a ton of money!
The prices from retailers are rediculous!
