Hi! Karl
I'm no particular authority but all the Rotax documentation I've seen is to
start with the throttle completely shut. This ensures the carbs are on the
correct settings for the start mode. Mine will not start or even try until I
pull the throttle to absolutely Zero. If it won't start then probably the
idle jets need resetting but where you commence doing that will need you to
research the procedure.

In addition to my other problems my engine now won't start with the choke
only. I have to make repeated attempts, until eventually I get it going with
no choke and a little throttle.
My throttle minimum idle position is at around 1300rpm. I assume it has
something to do with the carbs, but they were serviced by a Rotax agent not
very long ago. Has anyone got any ideas where I should look ? I am able to
start on one magneto for a softer start. This is not my year, but at least
the glider wings have been up a few times.
