do not archive

The Rotax factory school instructor noted that 912 engines are run at the factory using propane as a fuel. Indicated that this first test run was merely to see that the engine operated properly, and that carb adjustment WOULD BE NECESSARY at the time of installation. That was the case with my engine on a previous aircraft.
The instructor also said that even though the 912 COULD be idled back to about 1100 RPM or thereabouts, do NOT do this.....the engine will come loose from the airframe. It is intended to idle at the 1800 mark as noted in a previous post.
I escapes me at the moment if carbs were attached during the test run or if they just use a propane-air mixture and hoses. Gasoline was not used as this would then require the factory to remove gasoline from the carbs prior to shipping.
