You should not run the carb vent tubes to the bottom of the cowl. These
are used for the carb altitude compensation..the mixture automatically
adjusts. Put them into the air flow and the pressures get messed up and
your carbs will not compensate for altitude properly. This is why there is
a recommended length..and it is relatively short. I routed mine so any
overflow is sucked into the air filter..and hence back into the carbs
where it is burned.

Trays come with the 914 and can be purchased seperately
A Rotax guy told me to leave the plastic tube where it was from the
factory
and put a Tee on its end then run a longer tube to the cowl bottom.
Didn't
do it, but it is an interesting thought.

No trays with mine. Trays sound like the answer to my concerns.
Anyone know where to get them?
