Hi Alain,
I have booked my plane in with Conrad Beale (UK's Rotax agent's son) for a
200 hour 'top end' check out to inspect the valves and rocker arms as
suggested in a Service Instruction and discussed the 'Burp' with him. He
seemed to think that carb icing on one side was quite a likely reason,
especially as the humming cleared after the Burp.
When the cold air plenum is used he strongly recommends the use of Rotax's
manifold warming system to protect against carb ice. I suspect this is going
to be one of those things that never get fully understood, but as long as it
doesn't happen again I will be happy.
Regards,
Peter

Hi Peter,
I have also the same symptom, a lot of time, and I think it is ice carb.
Not a problem.
I never stop the engine, and the problem gone away when ice go through the
carb with a "blup blup".
Regards.

Just to say thanks for all the feedback on this one. A number of
possibilities have been suggested and if I get to the bottom of it I will
'publish'.
