Hello everyone,
been reading your posts on carburetor rebuild...Here is my 2 cents worth...
when i brought the firestar with the 503 on it to Florida this winter it became very hard to start. We bought this plane last fall and this was our 1st experence with the rotax, so we had a lot to learn. Staying near Sebring in Florida I took off the Bing carbs and took them to Lockwood aviation to have them rebuilt. They only replaced the parts needed. The engine had about 325 hours and the carbs may have had the same. They found that the jetting was not correct and replaced those that needed to be. I decided to replace two of the floats. The engine now starts excellent with pull start, temps run about 1000 deg on exhaust temp and about 200 on cly head temp. correct carburation is very important. I have not had to adjust the carbs from the way Lockwood set them....Flying is good here in Florida.....Jim Swan
