Hi Tracy,
I just saw the AD and wondered if a 1999 EC2 is one of the good chokes,
mine is the one from Jerry Bass that you updated a few months ago.
Thanks,
Harold Kovac


The best way to be 100% sure is to simply open the cover and look. BUT..
according to the mandatory service bulletin, the older "square case
models" are unaffected. The "rectangular case models" MAY be affected.
If you have a square case model you should be fine. If you have a
rectangular case model the best way is to simply take the cover screws
off and look.  It is held on by 4 screws, and the choke is right in the
middle of the circuit board somewhat away from everything else. You do
not have to remove the circuit board from the base. I have posted pics
here and on another rotary engine list, as well as giving permission to
Tracy to use my pics on his website in accordance with his service bulletin.

The Mandatory Service Bulletin is located here:

Also.. not to discount the value of Paul and his website, but you should
have recieved an email mandatory service bulletin from Tracy as the
present owner of record. If you did not, It would BEHOOVE you to contact
him directly and make sure that the ownership information for your EC2
is up to date, so that you can be contacted directly in the event of any
recall's or other MSB's
