Hi Kelly,
Mine had a few cracks after 300 hours or so but they were pretty minor...As
long as they are not cracked too far (and thus the barb being in dager of
actually falling off) you could use some silicone sealant to cover over the
cracks.
Just make sure you keep an eye on them and replace before they get too bad.
Thant what I did. You are right though, a leak will cause a cylinder bank to
run weak.
Frank

As I was thumbing thru issue #141 of the Zenair newsletter I was drawn to
page 11 (also page 9 but that's another story). This page shows a Rotax
service bulletin warning of possible cracks and distortion on the rubber
carb mount. It states for everyone flying the 912 & 914 engines (the same
carbs as used by us Stratus fliers) to check our rubber carb mounts ASAP.
They are now recommending a redesigned mount if a new mount is needed. I
have inspected mine and have also found small cracks starting to form after
80 hours (Rotax also states to check new carb mounts every 50 hours). I'm
just wondering if any of you have also found your mounts cracking? If so is
this possibly adding to the carb problems, as I believe this would change
the fuel & air mixture of our carb settings we are working so hard to tweak.
