The vibration and rough running midrange was very frustrating. I thought the Rotax dealer was crazy when he told me the problem was more than likely the gearbox. I had replaced nearly every part in the fuel and electrical system and was fed up with the problem. Told him not to call me until the motor was fixed and ran smooth. I had about 400 hours on the motor.

The roughness is very mild and probably not noticeable to a passenger in the aircraft. If we get some warm weather I will attempt to enrich the needle position and let you folks know how it works. I don't have access to a heated hanger so this might take awhile. Thanks for all your inputs. These ideas give me a number of things to consider.
