Carb-ice?
in 912 / 914 Technical Questions
11 years ago
It looks like that this winter we encounter severe carburatoricing problems. (This winter is typical Dutch: temperatures about 0 degrees Celcius and high hummidity.)
When we reduce the RPM from 5500 to 5000 the engine (912A) starts running roughly immediately! When activating the carb-heating the problem is also solved immediately. But when I try to decrease the carb-heat the engine starts running roughly even before I released the lever. It is even a littlebit frightening.
Strange thing is that during taxiing and warming-up the engine shows no signs of carb-ice. Also strange is the fact that last year we flew without these problems.
(in oktober we cleaned the carburators and we synchronised them).
Do we have to live with this nasty problem or is there anybody who can advise me?
Thank you in advance
