Hot engine cuts at idle
in 912 / 914 Technical Questions
7 years ago
Our Rotax 912ULS has done around 350hrs, regularly serviced, runs on Mogas, and carb balancing completed recently. We have a recent problem with engine cutting at low revs.
Performance on pre-flight check, engine warm, normal: min. idle around 1,600. However, on a recent approach, throttle idle, engine cut. Subsequent test, on the ground, after a flight (so engine hot), had the same result.
Linkage and stops are OK. We’re checking the carb float needles level with fuel, cleaning the jets. We’ll re-check performance with engine warm and hot.
Would appreciate further suggestions for investigation. Engine management system perhaps?
Thanks in advance.
