Hello, Kitfox 582 drivers. I have my model II together and about ready to
fly here in Dallas. I have test run the engine per the Rotax guidelines and
have a few questions if anyone will give advice. On starting, one cylinder
always starts before the other, and it really shakes running on one-is this
typical? I doesn't idle smoothly under 2300 rpm but I haven't tried to sync
the carbs. What is the best procedure to sync them. Do you stand behind
the spinning prop? That could be scary? I can rig up a manometer out of
tubing and oil. Does it attach at the nipple on the front of the carb, and
where is the adjustment made? All advice appreciated. Do not archive.
If you have time to call me, my cell is 214 734 2524. See you at Airsho,
I'll be camping at north 40 by Mooney N99855 and hanging out around the
McBean display.

Can't say that I've ever tried to sync them in 350 hours. Nor have I
ever seen a reference to syncing a 582 in the Rotax or CPS
literature. I make sure the carbs open the same amount, but that's
it. I've occasionally wondered if syncing was beneficial.
Regarding the miss, check the plug wires where they exit the module.
They use the crappy screw-on type connector and can easily come apart
in handling. Also check, using a needle, continuity in the wires
coming from the coil to the ignition modules. These can break inside
their covers.

Hi Ed, the mechanical synro of the Bing 54 carbs works very well, and can be do with the engine NOT running, just remove the air filters and check that both carbs start to open at the same time then measure at the half way point and then again at full throttle if both carbs are adjusted so they are the same it will be good to go. As Guy posted I'd check for an ignition problem as far as the miss and starting on one cyl which is not normal, or it could be one carb isn't getting prper fuel check the float bowl levels. Good luck.
