It is good to hear a solution to one of those mister Rotax problems.

Now you have a new one !   :(

I have experienced something like that on my 914S , at times.  I attributed it
to fouled plug "syndrome".  It occurs after a long taxi and goes away in just
a minute after full power has been set.

I have started to do my shut-down at the end of taxi a little different now to
help with this problem.  I "kick" the throttle just a bit before turning off the
ignitions (together).  It has not happened since I started this procedure.

On a side note relating to this :  While inspecting my plugs doing my annual, I
saw small globs of "lead" (?) in the space around the electrodes.  I burn 100LL
about a third of the time. I replaced the plugs and will check again before
I use any more 100LL.
