Lightbulb My Rotax is dead, where should I get it fixed?

I hear there's a place called A-Spec in toronto that services these motors, does anyone know their number?

If I have a 10 piece ratchet set and a hammer, can I rebuild my own rotax motor? I've worked on my lawn mower before, it can't be that different.

thanks dudes






p.s. Rotax is a trademark name for a piston engine and is not similar to the wankel designed rotary engine.

I'm bored already....

Ok im confused, do you want work done on a rotary or a rotax? cause A-spec has nothing to do with rotax, unless they started work on them and i didnt know.

Bhahahah that's probably all that A-spec has to work on your motor with anyway, Go ahead and use a-spec if you want that motor to work for 2 months. Let's not forget the backwards apex seals we found in my A-spec motor and the fact that they laughed at me when i inquired about it all......

The 10 pc. ratchet set simply won't cut it. You are going to have to get the 11pc. set if you are serious about the future survival of this engine.

Probably too late, but Canadian Tire had a SIXTY SIX peice set on sale for $9.99. Never mind rotax and rotary - you could fix just about anything with that!!

I bought the girlfriend one (she loves tools!) and threw my keg at her for re-assembly. With the tool kit, she's almost done!
