Can you tell me how it was to wire as I'm talking to Farr about their 583 Rave kit and had questions about the
CDI (Capacitor Discharge Ignition), Volt reg.,
starter, kill switch and ignition wiring? Any help would be greatly appreciated. What's the HP on that 670 any way and is it the same size as the 583 and doesn't require any cutting?
Thanks
I used all of the sled piece and built my own wire harness. The rotax is pretty stand alone, you have to wire the kill switch into your old wire harness and the stator to the
voltage regulator and you are good to go. Pilot harness can be reused but I prefer to keep stock harness In 1 piece and build my own custom. 670 I think is slightly wider than a 583. It fits just fine but would require a frame modification to use the pull starter. My 670HO puts out 125hp.
I just purchased the 583 kit from Farr and I'm still confused on the wiring, do you think if I get a wiring harness from a sled it would help? Like you said I would rather not cut up the pilot harness if I don't have too! Again, any help would be greatly appreciated.
No i don't think a sled harness would help you. the 583 rotax
Engine is stand alone in the way that it runs. you only need to add the charging system wiring and the kill switch in order to make everything function.
The rotax stator has 2 yellow and a black wire in 1 plug coming out of it. those need to go into the white plug of the pilot regulator. this will use the pilot regulator to charge the battery just like the pilot Engine. The black wire i believe is a ground and i don't think it should be hooked up to the pilot regulator. I could be wrong but you should ask someone that has done it this way before. Maybe start a new thread asking about rotax wiring help. I made my own wire harness using a sled harness, lots of extra wire, and the sled regulator. basicly a 100% custom wire harness. quite a bit more work.
then you need to hook up your kill wire from the pilot to the rotax. The pilot kill wire is black with a white stripe. On the rotax, i forget exactly the color. I believe it is either black with a white or a yellow stripe. If you tape the pilot kill wire direct into the sled kill wire, your kill switch will work. but work backwards. If you wire in a relay you can make it function exactly like it should.
