Rotax 912ULS
Has anybody had any problems with a high speed miss on their Rotax 912's? When I run up to around 4-5000 RPM I seem to be hearing a miss every once and a while. Wondered if anyone else has run into that problem. I'm ready to call the DAR, but not sure I want to before I find out more about the problem.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

No problem with any missing with my 912uls. I would think there are several reasons that might be causing something like that. I am no mechanic, but I first would suggest changing plugs, checking wires, checking electrical, etc. Just my thought....

I would suspect the carbs are not balanced at the high range. This can be caused by slight cable tension at different throttle positions. Also check your right crab to be sure that the throttle cable end is not hitting the fuel lines running up to you fuel pump which can interfere with your throttle throw. If the carbs are out of sink with each other the resulting engine vibration can shake the fuel out of the float periodically.

I balanced mine using the gauges I bought from Aircraft Spruce for the Rotax 912uls. They work great. Easy to do with TWO people. One holding the gauges and one inside the plane. I also viewed the How To video on the Rotax Owner website. I also have the Rotax installation video I bought that was a great help in setting up the engine in the plane.

Closely inspect the braided-steel covered leads coming from the stator area (pickup coils) to the CDI boxes. These can fray and short to the motor mount, or pull loose on one or both ends under torque (higher power setting). They need some slack to allow for motor movement on the mount.
Had that problem with a 912UL.

Soft Start Module for 912
Does anyone have any experience with this soft start module from Bully Hawk.com for the 912/914? Suppose to eliminate kick back during startup. http://www.bullyhawk.com/

Re: Rotax 912ULS
Hi Roger
http://www.boehm-synchrontester.de" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; is a German producer of synchronizers. He sells its products all over the world.
I think he is the only one who can offer the tester with a Capsule pressure gauge and Zero adjustment.
Scale range from 0....600 mbar; equal 0...17.7 mercury vacuum. A dampening system will avoid vibration of the needle.
There you get a lot of informations about synchronizing carbs.
