Rotax 912 Starter Circuit.

On my homebuilt with Rotax 912 I would like to use 2 switches (2-5 type) for magneto's and starter function. How are these wired and shielded?
Any feedback appreciated.

The link below is to an online copy of the 912S installation manual. See page 17-1 for diagram and discussion of ignition and starter circuit wiring. A copy for the 80hp 912 is also on this site if needed.

phtoxo,

The wiring scheme you're looking for is depicted in the Z drawings in Bob's
book, the Aeroelectric Connection.

I wired my 912 using 2 S700-1-3's and a starter push button switch. That
way, I can crank the starter with both "mags" grounded. This is very handy
for oil changes and other maintainance activities that call for the engine
to be turned over without risk of starting.

Can you do that with the 2-5's? 'Cause, I've always thought that would be a
slick way to foil an attempted theft. The bogey man wouldn't know how to
start your plane :O)
