Hi Roland,
Rotax 912s with original 912 starter is OK.
What one needs is a powerful battery.
I had a Panasonic Battery and in winter it was no good.
It eventually caused the sprag clutch to need replacing.
I was also going to upgrade to a more powerful starter.
Due to my Classic engine frame I could not fit the new starter.
So I put the original back and brought a Lithium IRON battery used in Motorb
ikes.
Powerful enough to turn over a 12tonne truck!
I worked so well. No more winter problems on starting.
Battery was the SHORAI POWER
