When my 912S is hot like just after refueling, if I even touch the
throttle a 1/4 inch the thing will flood and not start -- Then even if
I let it sit for 3 hours like today, still no start ??
Help -- It's in a KF 5
Thanks,
George

Do you have a fuel return? With a return and an auxilliary electric
fuel pump, you just run the electric pump for a minute or two before
attempting to start a hot engine, and the vapor lock gets pumped back to
the gas tank. I did not initially install a fuel return, but did so by
Tee- ing into the fuel linehalf way between the two carbs and running a
line back to the top of the fuel tank. I restricted it very simply by
inserting a grooved plug of threaded stock into the line and clamping it
with a hose clamp to the desired flow rate, about half a US gallon per
hour seems to work fine. Rotax recommends a fuel return.
