Engine
The FK 12 is powered by a 912ULS four-cylinder, horizontally opposed
engine rated at 100 HP at 5800 RPM. It has a combined cooling by liquid
and air. The optional airbox allows to supply the carburetors with cold or
preheated air to avoid carburetor icing.
The control levers for choke and carburetor heat are located on the centre
console, the throttle lever is on the left sidewall.
The engine cowling can easily be removed for maintenance and checks. Oil
and coolant can be checked by opening a small cap on the right upper part
of the cowling.
