Sorry, I have to correct the last neassage after doing a quick check. The
site is not Rotax.com, but kodiakbs.com. The 912 installation manual is
there, but for the 914 all that is available there are the parts,
maintenance and operator's manuals. The parts manual could help answer a
lot of questions as it can give a pretty accurate picture of what is there.
