When they were doing the balance, it was all over the place as they advanced and retarded the throttle. It was either way off at idle or way off at full power and they went back and forth adusting the cables pretty much the whole afternoon. So they pulled the carbs and checked for debris - sure enough a small piece of rubber was found in the passages. Once they were cleaned and reinstalled, the balance went normally. One thing I do when changing the lines to insure that they stay clean during installation is I cap the ends of the lines with rubber stoppers from the autoparts place. You can get them large enough to fit over the ends of the lines. Basically I make the assemblies, clean them out with gas and high pressure air then cap them. Then I can push them through firewall holes and firesleeve without having to worry about stuff getting into the lines. I also cap the fittings on the carbs, fuel pumps and tank just to make sure.... May sound kind of anal but you can't be too clean when doing anything to the fuel system ;) LS -------- LS Titan II SS Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=340000#340000 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 06:18:43 AM PST US Subject: RotaxEngines-List: Re: Carb sync issue, Another thought provoking problem From: "lucien" lucien wrote: > > Roger Lee wrote: > > Hi All, > > HMMMMM! > > THE IDLE JET AND or CIRCUIT may be restricted. > > > > > lol... this is exactly what happened to the other titan on our field after he did his carb rebuild.
