Tim,
I just sold a Titan Tornado II/912 to a guy in Tennessee. Now I'm
flying an Allegro 2000 S-LSA. What about you?

Jack,
When you start up a 912 cold, the enricher (some call it a choke) must
be on to get the fuel/air ratio rich enough to start the engine. This
short period of time during cold start-up is sufficient time to coat
the exhaust outlet with soot. It is recommended not to run the enricher
any longer than necessary. Even on the coldest starts, you should be
able to close the enricher within 30 seconds or so by adding throttle
as you decrease enricher.
This does not necessarily mean that the carbs are not set up correctly
but even if they are the soot is a normal consequence of correct
starting procedure.

Thanks, that sounds right! It runs rough with the enrichener, so I
normally get it out as soon as possible. Thanks!
