We are talking a small amount. It was states that they still felt the engine was a full power but the butterfly valve didn't quite make 100% open. My conversation with them was carb airflow concerns I had while still building. The concerns where stimulates from the past 8 years of listening to this forum. That is how this subject came up. Anyhow, may be worth a Try only using 95% butterfly movement or at least reducing in small increments on a trial basis.

When it last happened I applied carb heat on continuously during landing an d TAKEOFF on consecutive touch and go's. With the carb heat on I experence d No further issues. With that in mind, I installed the electric carburato r heat assembly that jabiru USA sells. This gave me the carb heat needed, but did not reduce engine efficiency. so far i've not had any similiar iss ues. I did a write up on the installation and should be out with the next newsle tter.
