912 uses a copper core wire. I thought 6mm but could be wrong. The local auto parts stores all had it in bulk. There is a second insulating sheath over the wires that I could only find from Rotax.

The plug boots are available online for a fraction of what Rotax wants.

Your engine with the old style ignition may be different, YMMV.

Thank you all for the replys. SUCCESS It turns out the number 1 and number 3 Cyl plugs were reversed. With some logical troubleshooting and the help of KitFoxJim the plane now runs like a charm and Flys too. Jim did the first circuit in her and then I got a chance to try it. I have to go back to pilot school as it is quite a bit different than what I have been flying. What a great feeling. After 3years I got her in the air. Oh and safely back on the ground.
Thanks all for the help.

Big congrats Norm!! Glad you got the wires sorted out. Hope to hear tails of exciting Kitfox flights next we meet in the desert southwest.

WOW What an amazing airplane. I took SuperFox for a ride and I am really impressed with the whole package. The 912 is super smooth with a nice low rumble from the exhaust. Still early testing but I am seeing easy speeds of 80 to 85mph. I was concerned about selling my old plane because after 7 years of flying her I thought what if I don't like the Fox. Concerns are at rest as the SuperFox is really Super. Thanks to all who have helped me here with motivation and guidance. A special thank you to KitFoxJim who really kept me going when it seemed like I was ready to quit.
Got go and see if I can get this smile off my face.
