2 guys missing in Victoria?

[tonydenton]

yes Darrell I hope your right but it"s the difference between ambient temp and inside the carb temp that causes ice. ha ha been talking to waddles can"t you tell. [ hope I got that right alan.]

Are they heaters Eric? Where are they fitted?Aussie Paul.

They look alright, how much power do they use?

[Waddles]

Tony,There is only one temp probe that goes in the carby before the venturi/butterfly. The gauge reads that temp alone. Waddles.

[tonydenton]

ok I had it wrong, I just thought going by the guage screen with it"s yellow colour area, with it"s colour above and below zero that was the difference area.

If I was to build these instruments, that automatically did the maths, would anyone buy them?

There seems to be a number of carby heaters for a rotax 912 available. You have the Rosco version, quaranteed to work costing approx $1100[ fitted]Rotax have their airbox version[ the same as I have] for approx $600 parts only and that may not even have the scat hose to which you can add a lot more $ plus cost to fit.The water heated version from the UK that Birdy and a number of other people are using and Birdy gives it the thumbs up. It costs approx $ 300 [ My figures might be a bit rubery, cant find my notes that I had written down] and we have Echo"s version which I know zilch about.When you get carby ice, you will be left in no doubt about whats happening[ with a 912] personally, when I feel that engine quiver I"m going to puill on the carby heat & a gauge is not going to help me much. I would rather a fuel pressure gauge, that would be helpful when the pumps are getting sick.
