MP is the same as air box pressure less the drop across the carb, so if air box pressure isn't rising, it's likely a guage problem. I've also found the guys at Rotax in Vancouver very knowledgable and helpful with 914 questions.

True about the MP vs. Airbox, that's why I think I may need to fly down to Lockwood. I was hoping I had a leak in the carbs or MP gauge something akin to that but it doesn't seem to have a leakage anywhere, and besides that would drive the MP down not up with altitude... What I am seeing Jim is a steady rise in MP with altitude increase with a fixed throttle. That is weird as the manuals don't seem to indicate that should happen except for the high airbox temp cutback.

I do have a sheet of paper which I think I recall was from Graham but looking for any further information has drawn a blank and the information has disappeared from the LAA site as far as I can see. There looks to be quite a bit of 'adjustment' to make it fit satisfactorily... In particular a photo or two may help me avoid filing something off I shouldn't! Thanks!
