IMPORTANT INFORMATION
OIL/FUEL RATIO FOR ROTAX MAX FR125 ENGINES
The Rotax Max FR125 engine has
revolutionised karting with its ease of use, long life
between rebuilds and its incredible reliability, however
like every engine, sometimes things can go wrong. The most
common failure we see is the big end and although it is
still comparatively uncommon, it is arguably the weak point
of the engine.
In an effort to reduce the incidence of conrod big end
failures, Rotax has advised the following important change:
At ambient temperatures of 25C and above, Rotax generally
recommend a fuel /oil ratio of 33:1
(=3% or 0,3 litres of oil per 10 litres of fuel)
Note : This applies all of the time, not just when running
in.
N.B. For temperatures below
25C, a fuel/oil ratio of 50:1 is still recommended.
To further reduce the
likelihood of failure, Rotax have also made other changes
such as releasing new run in procedure instructions,
revision of the tolerance band of the radial clearance of
the crankshaft and reducing the tolerance on the big end
cage. Rotax will continue to test various components in
house and monitor the conrod failure.
