Two Carbs instead of one
I would like to know why Rotax decided to use two carbs instead of one. I have read that it gives better power I also have read that the engine will run on one carb enough to keep you in the air. I do not see how that is possible as each carb is feeding one half of the engine with no cross over allow fuel into the other pair of cylinders. The use of two separate carb/cyl arrangement increases the chance of engine failure as I do not see how the engine will run on just two cyls on the same side of the engine. I would loved to hear that I am not correct on this assumption please reply. I see the Jabaru engine with 125HP running on one Bing with larger jets and wonder why Rotax cannot do the same.
