Hello
I'm JUSTIN .Now,we have a new ROTAX 912is engine that have some trouble.Need your help.

1.Fuel pressure:Other aircraft's sensors show instantaneous changes when the fuel pump is turned on,but this engine fuel pressure is rising very slowly, waiting for 20-30 seconds to rise to normal(44-45PSI).We examined all of the external fuel roads (including change fuel pump,filter).But the results have not changed.
2.LANE A and LANE B:The engine cannot start when LANE A and LANE B are opened simultaneously;
Only opened LANE A,the engine produces sharp vibration.Dare not continue to force the start.
Only opened LANE B, the engine start and works very well.But,The engine produces sharp vibration and the RPM is significantly reduced when LANE A is turned on.After closing LANE A, the running is normal again.
LANE A 'sensor sensor shows normal and there was no warning.Then we exported the USER LOG-DATA.The data showed that EGT1 and EGT4 temperature were significantly lower than EGT2 and EGT3.We have replaced the spark plug, but we haven't solved the problem.We don't know how to do it,so please help us.
Looking forward to your reply.Thank you
JUSTIN

    What size orifice do you have on the bypass line? it sounds like you have a big flow between the inlet and return system.
    Carefully check all the spark plug caps are on the correct spark plug, it sounds like 2 of them are switched to the wrong cylinder.

    We have five engines and the orifice size is 0.7 MM. The other four are normal, only this fuel pressure has a problem.
    I checked all the spark plugs today and there was no mistake.And check the connection of the ignition coil but found no problem.Why is it that when I turn on LANE A the engine have obvious shake and RPM decrease?

    It seem that when you turn on Lane A , Cylinder 1 & 4 doesn‘t work, and then engine noticeable shake.

    First you need to find out why the fuel pressure is not rising, it could be you have a restriction or some other loss of flow.
    Disconnect the fuel hose from the engine fuel RETURN fitting (at fuel regulator above cylinder #4). Connect a temporary hose to this fitting and place open end in a fuel container. Turn ON the main fuel pump for exactly 1 minute. Record amount in fuel container. It should be at least 6 liters.
    Repeat for Aux pump.
    Both pumps should provide at least 6 litres. (Max Take-0ff fuel consumption (26.8Lph) + 125%=60.3Lph)

    Have you actually inspected the orifice on the suspect engine.
    This is not a time to assume anything.

    When operating on a single lane only 4 of the fuel injectors are used.
    When both lanes are in service, the two injectors on each cylinder share the duty by injecting on alternate intake cycles.
    If you have a bad injector, it may be one of the disabled ones when lane B is operating.

    An Injector issue could also be related to the slow fuel pressure increase.
