    Thanks Roger, would you clarify exactly where to measure 10.5mm. i.e armatures up or down and what area of edge of carb. Thanks -----Original Message----- From: owner-rotaxengines-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rotaxengines-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Roger Lee Sent: 03 June 2015 01:48 AM Subject: RotaxEngines-List: Re: 912 rough running below 3000 rpm Hi Flynn, This isn't the ignition modules, wrong symptoms. This is either fuel or the gearbox. The carbs are clean and nothing is in the mixture jet (corner of the float bowl) or the idle jet? I take it the idle is in sync and it isn't set too low an rpm? If the gearbox is a little on the loose side it could need a re-shim. This can be intermittent due to load changes when there is an rpm change. Have the float armatures that the float push up on been set to the proper height of 10.5mm from the edge of the carb to the top of the float armature? (You may have a tad bit of flooding). Could the floats themselves be a little heavy causing some mild flooding? -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az.

    Hi Flynn, The carb must be off the engine and held upside down. Take a MM ruler and stand it upright (straight up) on the outside lip of the carb. Now slide it over towards the float armature so you can see the ruler marks next to the float armature. The top of the float armature should be 10.5mm. If it is not just bend the tab where the float needle is suspended to obtain the proper 10.5mm height. This is what controls the fuel level in the bowl as the floats push up against it. If it is off adjustment it can cause some flooding and rough running. -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az.

    Hi Roger, When I have done this job in the past I used a special Rotax tool for the correct set up. It was drawn to my attention that the dimension you refer to varies with engine type ie 912ul 912uls and 914. Your clarification on this may be appreciated by many or just me.

    Rotax does have a special measurement tool the slips over the main jet nipple area. I was doing this before that tool came out so just stuck with the mm ruler and saved about $35. :) Most don't want to spend the money on what many would consider a one time use part, but either way works and gets the job done. -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az.

    Roger, My query was more about the dimension of 10.5 mm. I was told (and the tool indicates) that different figures apply to the 912, 912s and 914 engines. I am not too sure how critical this is but the dimensions on the tool are quite different.

    Hi Vernon, Some years ago I renewed all the maintainable bits of my carbs on a 912ul. This included the brass pivot arm . At the time I rather naively assumed that it was just a replacement item and fitted it as supplied in a Rotax kit. I flew the aircraft and had no problem at all until I throttled back at top of climb at which time the engine ran very rough. So rough that I declared an emergency. The simple fix was to correctly adjust the float levels in both carbs using the Rotax tool.The tool has steps in it for the different 900 series engines. I have absolutely no problem doing this with a tape measure as Roger has described, but according to which engine you are working on depends what dimension you should be working to. I look forward to Roger's reply as he is the oracle on these matters.

    This is an excellent example of what is great with Matronics. I too look forward to Roger's response. Although rather than call him an "Oracle", google answers "A response which is typically one that is ambiguous or obscure". I would prefer you use the term Pontiff as in officiating such as at mass. I hold Rotax as the ultimate authority and this is no time for ambiguous or obscure dogmatic answers. I like your method mentioned above. I love the 912iS with Fadec. John Cox.

    A glimmer of hope, pulled the jets yet again and this time also the mixture needles and gave them a clean and a light blast of air, along with the brass down pipe attached to the carb body, reassembled and fired up, smooth as silk at idle and throttle progression for around fifteen seconds then back to lumpy running. Think I dislodged a tiny piece of something which may have got pushed back with the fuel flow. I get the impression the culprit is sitting in the carb body, will now have to take the carbs off for a strip down be it that maybe only one carb is causing the problems. Oh ,and float levels are spot on.

    The 912UL and ULS are the same measurements. They are the same carbs just different jetting. When the carbs come off you must flush through every orifice and jet in the bowl and carb body and leave no stone unturned. It only takes a very tiny piece of debris to cause this rough running. Your symptoms do sound like you move a piece of debris, but after it runs it moves again. I absolutely know you don't want to hear this, but I think you missed something on the cleaning. Every little hole and crevice needs to be flushed then blown out with air. Blow the air in more than one direction where possible. I have seen a few owners have difficulty here because they left one stone unturned. Thanks for the vote of confidence, but no "Oracle" here just an owner like everyone else and happy to pass on what I learn in all the Rotax schools and what I have been able to see over the years. matter of fact I just spent all last week back at Rotax for another school. -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az.
