I came across a site where they developed a fuel pump for the Rotax engines.
No big news probably for the 912 owners, but interesting for the 914
owers, as this is a mechanically driven pump intended to fully replace
one of the electrical fuel pumps! So, if you want your engine completely
independent from the battery and alternator, now you have the choice!

Another thing I found is the idea to add fuel injection to the Rotax,
but keeping the carbs at the same time for redundancy. The carbs then
double duty as a throttle body for the EFI.
And if the EFI failes, you can fall back on the carbs. In fact, when
running on the carbs the engine is just "stock".
See attached picture.
Any comments?
