Check out the thread on the forum archives
"Speeding up the Rotax 914 Vacuum Pump PTO".

There I write that the 914 Vacuum Pump PTO:Engine RPM ratio is 0.54:1.

This is too slow for full output of a gear driven alternator designed for
Lycoming PTOs -
one would need a 0.7:1 gear ratio for that.

You can also download the 914 operator's manual from http://kodiakbs.com
