When it is hitching, does applying the "choke" help or hinder it? I
finally determined that my recent carb problems were caused by low
float level, and possibly using the very light-sprung float needle.
Mine hitched just after climbout began, and I got it back to the
field, hitching all the way.

Just curious...is this a pusher configuration, or tractor?
It sounds like a fuel level problem to me. Last week I talked to Bing
and the very knowledgeable lady there said that to check fuel level,
lower the bowl and there should be 1/2" of air space from the fuel to
the top of the bowl.

Ellery,
You should contact Dave Jalanti dave@jabirups.com for some possible
answers. He is the technical rep for Jabiru in your area. He lives in
NY. His no. is 518-851-2095 in the evenings. It sounds like a fuel
delivery problem to me, and Dave would be the one to ask.
Good luck, Ron

Well I checked it this morning and that is what I came up with the fuel in
the carb bowl was 1/2" inch below the top I adjusted the Float reinstalled
the float Bowl and fired up the engine for a minute removed the float bowl and
now it is 1/8" from the top and that cured my hitching problem That Problem
solved now, Thanks for the info Guys.
I got the test flight on this one finished
NOW I WILL STAND BACK AND THROW ROCKS AT 912 rotax engines
now it was a bit warmer today and the oil temp was able to get to hi oil
temp range What are you guys running for oil coolers on your engines this guy
I
built this plane for didn't want one but now I showed him that it will need
one during summer months and do you use oil thermostats in the system?

You might have a leaking float needle valve. Your fuel shutoff might
not be holding securely, allowing excess fuel to leak into the bowl
just as you lower the bowl to check the amount in there. You would
have to be almost overflowing the bowl to be able to lower the bowl
from the carb, and have 1/8" of fuel below the top...the floats would
account for more volume than this. Something doesn't sound right here.
