.
I purchased a 2006 Kolb Firestar with a 2006 503 ul dcdi Rotax engine with only
80 hours TT, It was in storage for a year without any fogging done to it.
I replaced the fuel pump ,gas lines , fuel filter and New plugs, proper gap, added
fresh 91 octane gas. Replaced the 'main jets only' for my lower altitude.
Engine runs at higher rpms ok but when throttle is reduced engines dies out and
stops. Idle jets seem to get continually plugged.
I would appreciate any ideas suggestions on how to solve this mystery
Thanks !

I went flying today and my voltmeter, which usually reads a steady 14 volts, jumped
to 16 volts. It wavered back and forth for a bit and then steadied at 14
volts. Then it did it again later, and then again. I have not noticed this happening
before. Any opinions? Thanks.
Regards,
Damien

If you are truly having a jet obstruction issue:
Pop the carb bowls off and remove the idle jet. Then flush or drain some clean
fuel through the system to remove and old debris. Clean the idle jet with a very
small piece of clean wire. Just spraying carb cleaner through it won't do as
good a job. If you continue to have an issue you may need to pull the carb and
tear it down for a more thorough cleaning. Hopefully this will clean the system
up a little and keep the small idle jet holes from clogging.

I could be a couple of items.
Bad ground, bad wire at the reg/rec, bad connection on the battery.

Thanks Roger,
From your credentials you're just the sort of mechanic I'm looking for. Rotax/
Bing qualified people in my area are few and far between. I'll be in touch.
Thanks
Dennis
