Original Europa springs were 90mm. Mine kept breaking and corroding.
CK Exhausts sells 95 mm springs which have survived several years!

I had a similar issue with the engine running rough between 2500 and 3500.
After researching on the web I found someone with the same problem.
What he found was there are 3 ports that are drilled in each carb and the
outside plugged with steel balls and the epoxy applied over them to seal any
leaks. With time the epoxy cracks allowing air to leak in. I resealed on both
carbs and the roughness went away.

Thanks for that information Bill. I'll keep that on file for future reference.
In my case, I consulted the Rotax Forum & saw advice from an A & P mechanic who
stated that even though Rotax advise to balance the Carbs at idle rpm, in his
experience he found that balancing the Carbs at 3500rpm gave a better result.
So I tried it & it seems to have solved the problem.

Yes, that would work well as a diagnostic; it can be taken further by removing
the cold air intake and with a flat screw driver lift each carbi piston about
1/4 at a time and note the rpm drop; a larger rpm drop indicates a richer mixture
on that carburettor, a lesser drop indicates a leaner mixture on that carburettor
(on the bing units any rpm difference may indicate a worn main needle
or jet, or a manifold air leak)...same diagnostic test can be done at idle too...
make sure the air balancing has been done first and both damper pots have
the correct oil level
