|
Lockwood sells a special restricter that does the trick. It screws into the barbed fitting. I think it is a Rotax part. (You'll need one for each carb, obviously.)
They also told me how to start my 912ul by just using the primer and not the "choke." Here's how Kerry told me to do it, which works slick as a whistle every time: Pump two primes into the carbs before starting. Crack the throttle a quarter of an inch. Hit the starter and at the same time, inject one more primer load. Should start up just as nice as can be!!! Sure has eliminated hard starting for me. If the plane has been setting for quite awhile (gas out of the system), I usually squirt about three primer loads into the carbs first, and it may need another couple of squirts to keep the engine running at first.

Stan, I have a question for you about the primer setup! right now my current setup is this: I have a gascolator which I pull my prime fuel from, then shoot to both carbs. I was thinking about eliminating the line from the gascolator, and installing an inline "T"on the main fuel line that goes to the shut off valve to draw my primer fuel from. I have been having a tuff time with my original setup. What do you think.
