Does anyone know how many turns the air screw is set to? I have mine at 1.5 turns
but I saw a manual that stated 3 turns.
Also, what other blocked orifices might cause a rough idle? I usually poke out
the pilot jet which sometimes gets gunked by mogas but that didn't do it. Short
of a carb soaking and rebuild, any other quick fixes? It starts right up,
idles reliably but a bit rough, and runs smooth above 3000 rpm.
How many Stratus guys still flying here?
Thanks,
Gary

Gary,
My first question to you is are you sure your carbs are balanced? If they are
not, that can cause it to not run smoothly.

I just talked to Mykal - nice that he answers the phone and went on for a w
hile about details of tuning.=0A=0AYes, I've balanced them and didn't touch
anything since.- I'm sure it's buildup as a result of letting it sit wit
h mogas.- I'm trying to avoid a complete carb rebuild again (which has al
ways worked well).- I've got some things to try to smooth it out.=0A=0ATh
anks for the reminder to balance - I've used the steam gauge type, digital
Rotax type, and he uses a ball float type that fits over the carb intake in
stead of tapping into the manifold balance tube.- I may try to find one o
f those.- I will clean the idle screw tip and tweak some adjustments.=0A
