Hello Dave,
I have known you for many years and I have admired all you have done with your
Kitfox and the many videos you have posted on YouTube. You are a real bush pilot!
Looking at this video, I understand that you find replacing the bungees easy ...
because you remove your seat!
I haven't built my Kitfox myself, only installed a Jabiru engine, but in my plane,
the seat is fastened with a hell of a lot of tiny screws along the two tubes
that supports it.
May I ask you how your seat is fastened? Do you unscrew all those screws or do
you have a better or easier way to fasten it?
Cheers,
Michel

I also had to go back to the old needles when I did my carbs. The internal
springs in the "new' needles are stiffer than the old needles. The new
needles allowed fuel to spill out the carb intakes and sure had an effect on
the idle. The carbs are further out on the Kitfox due to the reversed intake
manifolds. I believe this causes more vibration at each carb (ie: a
pendulum effect)
Try the old needles and see if that helps.

Are the old needles available anywhere? I tend to have the same problem with
my Vixen with the 912.

When I rebuilt my carburetor and got the new needles and had to go back
to the old ones, I called for some tech advice per the problem. I don't
recall who I called as it was probably ten years ago (eight actually - I
just checked). I was told that the needles for the ULS and the UL were
different. As I recall, and please don't quote me on this, but I think
my needles were brass colored and the ULS needles were black. I tried
to do a little research for this note and found that one of the service
centers is shipping the same needles for the ULS carburetor rebuild kit
as well as the UL kit. I don't know if things have changed since '04 or
if it is simply easier to only stock one needle. My rebuild kit,
though, was supposedly for a UL and the new needles didn't work. I
would hope that calling Lockwood or LEAF could get some "helpful"
advice.
