Simon,
The Rotax drip trays available from Rotax (at a cost!) do perform 2 tasks.
One is to act to prevent fuel from dripping onto the exhaust directly
beneath the carburettor!! and two to act as a heat shield from the exhaust
beneath. Due to installing the Sky Drive Carb Heat system I had to modify
the drip trays to fit under the carburettor sufficiently.
Cheers,
Tim
