Thanks Rick,
I fully hear what you say, and have now put just on two happy hours with
eyes and ears on full standby, although I have to say the problem was
never at cruise rpm, but good advice for anyone to take onboard.
Keep well
Flynn

Congrats, Flynn,
Just to be safe, stay within gliding distance of your field for the next
couple of hours. A couple of years ago I had a piece of mystery crud
come back to block the main jet. Not fun.
Safe skies,

Hi Roger,and all who offered advice,
The rough running is now in the history books.
After cleaning the carbs yet again, blowing air around and through every
nook and cranny all over a white towel with no crud to be seen
whatsoever, I
reassembeled the carbs with new jet 'o' rings etc. Put the carbs back on
and
balanced with gauges then a borrowed Carbmate (which is fantastic to
use)
Fired up the motor and to my great surprise my 912 was back to her old
self,
smooth as silk.
I sooo wish we found some crapp in the carbs if only to tell me the
problem
!!
Many many thanks for the help.

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.

I am at a loss for words. I just do not understand why you guys are so
loyal to an engine that has so many problems and poor designs. I read the
Lycoming, Continental, Jabaru, Subaru, and WV sites, they do not have the
ridiculous problems that Rotax does, and when a problem does surface they
fix it by eliminating it. Not by living with it!

I haven't had any issues with my Rotax 912ULS. It's been dependable for me.

If the =9Che=9D you refer to having no concern for safety is
actually =9Cme=9D then I would seriously take you to task !!
Nine years behind a well serviced Rotax and the first issue is fuel
contamination ( read speck of crud in the carb)
By the way what Jabiru site do you read ?
Been there , got the T shirt, Two rebuilds in under 40 hrs !
If you were not referring to me then have a nice day.

FLYaDive,
I just read your post relaxing with my phone then lunged at my computer.
True story. When I was building my first airplane in the late 90s, a
friend started his as well. We were pretty much on a parallel course.
Like you, he was concerned about the abundance of service letters and
bulletins from Rotax, so he opted for a Subaru EA-81 which was then
supported by our kit plane factory. The Subaru conversion company was
completely, read COMPLETELY, silent on anything at all and that gave him
great comfort. I stayed with my gut feelings and went 912. I first
flew in 1998 and subsequently put 900 hours on mine. To this date, he
has less than 40 on his and it has been up for sale for at least ten
years with no takers. I also have a very good friend who flies behind
a Jabaru. I have helped him with some issues. The inside of his lower
cowl looks like a catch basin for an oil change bay. He has had one
overhaul in less than 400 hours and now no longer has to re-torque the
head bolts after every flight, but still adds oil after every flight.
Neither of these guys have ever been on any type of email list or forum.
If you really feel that no news is good news, then good luck to you.

If safety was his concern he would not be flying a Rotax!
I am at a loss for words. I just do not understand why you guys are so
loyal to an engine that has so many problems and poor designs. I read
the Lycoming, Continental, Jabaru, Subaru, and WV sites, they do not
have the ridiculous problems that Rotax does, and when a problem does
surface they fix it by eliminating it. Not by living with it!

Congrats, Flynn,
Just to be safe, stay within gliding distance of your field for the
next couple of hours. A couple of years ago I had a piece of mystery
crud come back to block the main jet. Not fun.
Safe skies,

Hi Roger,and all who offered advice,
The rough running is now in the history books.
After cleaning the carbs yet again, blowing air around and through
every
nook and cranny all over a white towel with no crud to be seen
whatsoever, I
reassembeled the carbs with new jet 'o' rings etc. Put the carbs
back on and
balanced with gauges then a borrowed Carbmate (which is fantastic to
use)
Fired up the motor and to my great surprise my 912 was back to her
old self,
smooth as silk.
I sooo wish we found some crapp in the carbs if only to tell me the
problem
!!
Many many thanks for the help.
Flynn

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.
