I own a Pipistrel Virus motorglider with a Rotax 912 UL. This is a high wing aircraft like a Cessna. After installing a fuel pressure guage by placing a T fitting between the fuel pump and the four way distribution block and after changing the spark plugs the engine now sputters and wants to quit after lifting off. Before I did this the engine ran fine so I undid what I did. I put the original fuel line back with no T fitting, blew out all the fuel lines and took the carb fuel bowls off and cleaned them out. The same fuel is in the tanks when it was running ok and I had just taken a 40 minute trip so I doubt it's fuel contamination. I run the engine on the ground at full throttle with no problems. The only thing I didn't do was change the spark plugs back to the originals but I would think if that was the problem it wouldn't run ok on the ground. I'm thinking it might have something to do with the attitude of the aircraft or maybe the ignition system is heating up ?????
Any thoughts guys.
Giovanni
