You need to sync those carbs.I have had a similar problem and ended up replacing my throttle cables as one was slightly sticking on throttle reduction and one side of the engine was out from the other. This engine is basically two engines stuck together. The two sides have to be in sync. I bet I have synchronized my carbs at least 5-6 times in the last year.(for various reasons) Another thing they told us in Rotax school is to cruise the engine around 5000 rpm. The engine was designed to run at that rpm . I know my engine is much smoother when I do. Also idle no lower than 1800 rpm(Rotax school) as it is too hard on the gearbox (besides all the racket it makes) Dick Maddux Kitfox 4-1200 912UL Pensacola,Fl **************Stay in touch with ALL of your friends: update your AIM, Bebo, Facebook, and MySpace pages with just one click.

It is called MDR E-Zorb fuel treatment. It is a new product that is supposed to keep alcohol in solution with gas thus preventing phase separation. It will also mix the two if separation has already occurred. I don't know anything about it but it sounds good. The price runs about $17 a pint and it treats 320 gal. I saw it on EBAY for 15.95 pt. In two years we will have alcohol fuel in Fl . If this stuff works I 'll sure put it my fuel. Food for thought.
