Its running rough, real rough. It seems that at boost power it just simply cuts out! Also, in cruise when going to climb power it has begun to run really rough. He is a long way from home trying to limp it home, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. To elaborate, he has flown it 2 hours on AVGAS with no obvious problem until going to climb power when it ran so rough they had to pull the power back and land ASAP, luckily with an aerodrome closeby. Now, it runs rough on the ground too.not sure of what power settings but I recall they can't get boost happening. The local Rotax agent says that AVGAS with lead can wreck a set of plugs in no time, so, they have a new set of plugs about to be installed. Fuel will be drained and high octane super unleaded mogas will be used instead. The system will be drained. So, I'm wondering if ASAP those in the know can beam downunder the "good goss" that can help Kingsley get this bird home. Reg Tony Renshaw Sydney Aussie.

It is difficult to diagnose such a problem remotely but there are a couple of obvious things to check. If the engine runs smoothly at lower power settings and cuts out at higher power settings I would strongly suspect a fuel flow restriction as first guess. I suggest he does a fuel flow check to see if he is getting enough flow. Next check that there are no air leaks caused by carb mount failure/pipes adrift/ blocked. Check both carbs are opening together/ no problems with throttle cables. It could be ignition and changing the plugs and fuel at least eliminates some things but it is unlikely that a short period on Avgas would cause plug failure. I am sure the real experts will pitch in shortly!

Observe the wastegate arm move through it's test cycle when the master is turned on , to see if it is sticking. Sounds like carburators to me. He can inspect and clean the float bowls without removing the carbs from the engine ( 19 mm bolt on the bottom of th e bowls, torque to 5.5nm). Also make sure that the carbs are balanced.

Plugs last 50 hours no problem. I have never had a set of plugs foul up in nearly 7 years - I admit I change them every 25 hours. I have this sort of issue after an overhaul and it had to do with two things. part of the problem was one of the tubes from the airbox the carb had come loose and unbalanced the carbs Secondly the mating between the turbo and the engine was "out" - which meant that the turbo was providing too much or too little boost relative to the power setting. We tested the system by making the wastegate "manual" with a vernier cable. You can check the state of the mixture by looking at the plugs - they should have minimal carbon deposits and have a light brown "finish". I have a very old haynes BMW motorbike manual with photos of different states of plugs and what each means. I am sure that this is now on the web tho I haven't looked.

I pulled an unbelievable amount of crap out of the filters for the first 50 hours and I was very careful (or so I thought) to make sure that fuel system was clean before my first flight.
