Just to let you know that I followed most of your procedures. Have flown 10 hours now and no problem with carbs.
Thank you very much for your help.

[quote] I’ve been seeing a lot of posts about carbs popping out. I had this problem early on with my 912S. Here are some of the things I did to cure it.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
1 Look on the sportflight site I posted some pics on how I setup my carb springs (lower springs from hardware store)
2 Had slipper clutch installed by Lockwood.
3 Rough up carb inlet where they fit into sockets with scotchbrite.
4 Clean carb socket with acetone.
5 Don’t over tighten the clamp I used washers for the 7mm gap.
6 Make sure your carbs are in sync I used a synchromate 2 I got from Bing Agency you can contact them at 800-309-5808 much better than the dual vacuum gauges also has a built in tach.
7 Use Clint’s start procedure here is how I do it. He may correct me.
1 Don’t use a primer close the throttle and crank 10 seconds with mags off (you must have switches separate from the start switch) holding the enrichiner out to prime.
2 Set throttle to a spot you know will idle 2000 and turn on mags and start. If the engine does not start right up STOP and prime again or clear flood by mags off throttle open and crank.
Also after your engine breaks in you will notice much improvement. You can contact me at 610-564-0803 with any questions I will be happy to help. I have not lost a carb in 225 hrs.
