New Rotax fuel pump

Post by roger lee »

I believe CPS will have some of the new Rotax fuel pumps next week. The price will be the same as the old pump. About $163 for just the pump and $563+ for hoses and all. Just the pump for me please.
The new pump also has a fitting off it's bottom for a drain hose in case it leaks.


The new Rotax oil filters are out in circulation. They are different and not just 3mm longer. I haven't pulled one apart yet, but you can not
pre-fill the new filters. Don't even both trying. It looks as though there are two by pass valves. When I get an oil change with one I'll cut one open and take some pictures. (no I won't cut open a new one)

Roger, you'd be doing all of us a service by posting pictures when you do open one up. (I just did an oil change yesterday, but am still using up old stock of the original filter, so it will be quite a while before I see the insides of a new one.)

The old oil filters are in the blue and white box and the new filters are in an all white box.
