Steve,
The rotax install manual suggests that you get a second banjo fitting and a
longer bolt. They recommend that this be put inline with the hose going off
to the carburetor and to put the pressure transducer on the end of the
second banjo.
Can you tell me the VDO part number that is on your transducer as I need to
purchase one as well.
Paul
