I am new to Rotax, having recently left Lycoming in a
Cheorkee. I just bought a CGS Hawk with a 582. I
realize that this discussion has been about the 912,
but am wondering if it is applicable to the 582 as
well. With the location of the prop, how do you do
anything on these engines with it running? On mine, I
would not stand between the wing and the prop. Should
I remove the prop to adjust/calibrate the carbs?
Thanks,
Marlin-droadrunner

Marlin,
I am told it is very dangerous to run the 582 without some
kind of flywheel, as it will overspeed quite easily. Most adjust the
carbs on the 582 mechanically, and don't balance volumetrically. I
don't know if it's just laziness or if anyone has proven balancing
unnecessary, but I've never heard of anyone making the effort like
they do on the 912.

you will get fine results from setting the carbs with the engine stopped.
stop engine---remove the airfilter, apply throttle until the front edge of
the slide is just flush with the bore. adjust your cables on top of carb
until both slides are flush the same amount.
tighten the cable and recheck, now go full throttle and make sure the
back edge of the slide clears the bore. if not you need tighter cables and
readjust again.
now that the carbs are set the same at part throttle you need to adjust the
idle stop screws so both slides begin moving at the same time when going
from idle to part throttle. adjust the side that moves first by turning in
the screw. when both slides start the move at exactly the same time you are
done. put on filter and start engine to check for proper idle rpm.
thats about it. go flying

it can be a pain in the butt it takes much longer to work on planes of that configuation but I would sync the carbs believe me it will be better for the engine in the long run and you will have peice of mind knowing that it is well taken care of I have done it to Kolbs Tbirds and others I dont like doing them but its what keeps you up in the air
Just my personal Thoughts
