Can anyone share some info on the bing carbs we find on the rotax 912/ 914 series
A mate at our local airfield is of the opinion they are very similar internally to the bing carbs he works on that are fitted to some BMW motorcycles, we are looking at a carb overall and the cost if we purchase the carb kit from a rotax agent is more than 10 times the price he has quoted to rebuild our carbs using gaskets and other bits from his stock.
we have confirmed our floats are fine and weigh the correct weight, I just want to get opinion because if this is so then it’s a great saving, in discussions with a mate who owns a gyro we are unsure because I’m certain if this was the case then it would be out on the forums?
any advise / comments welcome
