Hi Bob, Remi  and All.
I have installed the new mag coil today, and it running smoothly now.
>From the engine log i noticed a new coil was fitted in 2009 did not say which
one was replaced,
The engine is running smoothly now, but never having a comparison or owned a 
rotax
before i don,t know what to expect.
At 4000 RPMs each mag drops at least 300 rpm , but both now are smooth and have
same drop, It is very difficult to get an accurate reading from the Flydat as
its digital and not steady. But i would say the engine sounds much better now.

The 6 Little warning lights, Now 5 of them OK.
But the Red ????? Alternator? Battery ? Light, Function  of,

Master switch on, Alternator on, the red light comes ON,
I would expect this as its not charging,
Start engine it goes OUT, sound good to me.
Volt meter showing now 13 volts , all OK.
Now if i turn the Alternator OFF.
The little red light remains OFF ??? No power from the Alternator so it not 
warning
me of Alternator failure .
The volt meter drops to 12 volts as expected. 

So what is this little red light, Low Volts, or Alternator or Battery 

Regards
Alan
