Hi all,

  

 I need to get a set of 912 plug caps but they cost Â£35.00 EACH in the UK  from the Rotax agent. I think I asked this question a couple of years ago and  someone kindly put me in touch with a company I think in NZ that could do them  for a more realistic price, but Iâ€™ve lost all the details of who they  were.

  

 Has anyone used the carb mount rubbers from this company in the US?

 Again, the original Rotax part is half the price of a new engine so I might  be interested in buying some of these parts. It would be good to know if anyone  has any experience of them.

  

 Thanks all,

  

 Barry

Barry,

            The Bing  Carb Mount Rubbers are BMW R100RS motor cycle rubber mounts, the spark plug caps  find a Local dealer that supplies the smaller size plugs they should have  suppressed caps. When you live in Africa you learn to improvise.

Keith,

  

 When you live in the UK everyone tries to stop you improvising if it costs  them a sale! There is no non Rotax supply available of the carb mounts that I  have been able to find in the UK and nor are there any plug caps that match the  originals. Iâ€™ve found some similar ones but they have a 90 degree bend and donâ€™t  fit on the lower plugs at all well.

  

 Cy, Iâ€™m using some originals and some â€˜improvisedâ€™ ones but I want to fit  all â€˜originalâ€™ types if I can buy at a sensible price!

  

 Barry

Esa,

        They are  standard on the older Boxer type bikes, take your sample to the agents to  check.

Barry,



I have used these carb mounts from this company.  The mount is very well made, looks better than the original Rotax mount but I suppose only time will tell how they hold up.  Don't know the difference in cost from the BMW part.

Barry,



I got a plug cap [identical, I think it was Bosch] from a local motorcycle dealer at a very reasonable price. All mine are 90 deg caps with a suppressor resistor built in.

I also replaced the carb sockets some time back because the originals had cracks inside. The cracks were not visible until the socket was removed, but it would not have been a fun day if they cracked all the way through. The original sockets were rather soft and flexible. I bought the replacements from the local Rotax agent, and I thought that the price was acceptable. Well, at that time I didn't know that there might have been other possibilities anyhow. The new sockets were much harder rubber, and much less flexible. Supposed to last a deal longer and so far they are OK.
