Thom,

    Thanks for your reply. I have put the original springs back on.They look identical to the springs I just saw in the "hombuilders aid' dvd on the Rotax engine (912UL).They have a unique shape and thickness so I am sure they are the originals.

    With the installation of a vernier throttle I can now control the rpm alot better and I will get used to the surge forward and react acordingly when I push the throttle button.

    Acording to the Lockwood Aviation dvd and the homebuilders aid dvd as well as my Rotax books they are all calling for an idle of 1800 to 2000 rpm on the 912 UL If I were try to idle it at 1600 and if it didn't quit,it would sound like a thrashing machine.It is much smoother and easier on the gearbox, I believe, at the higher rpm.I have tried to pull it back that far in flight and it has quit.(3 times) In fact on my first flight in the aircraft it did that and I deadsticked from about 30 ft.
