Rough running at high RPM
I have a 912UL fitted to a Kitfox 4 which has run well for many years.Having not flown the aircraft for some time due to the covid restrictions I renewed the spark plugs along with an oil and filter change. I noticed quite a drop when doing and ignition check at 4000 rpm. In an effort to "clear the plugs" I ran it at higher power and was surprised to find that the higher the power the worse the drop was. At full power (5200 static) the drop was 800/1000 rpm on either module and rough.
I put another set of new plugs, gapped to .025", in with no improvement. I have renewed the plug caps with no effect.The maintenance manual fortunately has drawings of my early interference suppression box and gives resistance measurements for coils etc and all check out satisfactorily except the secondary coils because the coils have a protective tube over the H.T leads which prevents me from getting at the terminals. I intend to renew the H.T leads as my next move.I have cleaned all the connectors and have an earthing wire from the metal coil bracket to the airframe.
My carburettors were professionally rebuilt two years ago , but I have popped the top of them to check the diaphragms as well as the rubber flanges for splits.
I'm about to trailer the aircraft for three hours to an airfield where there is more learned help available, but I'd be very grateful for any thoughts any of you might have.
