I read a lot of informations on how the bing 64 works in general terms and details.

But i have never understood whether from idle to 3000 rpm (where there are always more or less marked roughnesses in rotax 912 engines) only the idle jet and the bypass holes are involved or if at these rpm the needle jet has already started to lift.

Many  912's are rought from 2000 to 3000. I suspect that  in addtion of dirty idle jets, clogged bypass holes are the cause and a lot of people do not even know their existence!

In your experience what are the signs of clogged bypass holes?

thanks

    At every annual I weigh the floats and clean the idle jets. I have found 75 of the idle jets partially clogged or fully clogged. So no I just do it for my customers no matter what aircraft they fly. I'm teaching a Rotax class this weekend and these are two things I teach them. Since we use a real aircraft (a FD CTSW this time) they get to learn the easy way to pop the carbs out and then they all get to see how to weigh floats, look for clogged idle jets and how to clean an idle jet without damaging it. It's actually very easy and quick.
