RPM goes back and fwd 200 RPM while cruising

by Julio Consuegra in General Tech Discussion 10 years ago

While cruising, the power goes back and fwd about 200 rpms, it is real, not only indication. Who has had the same problem in a 912 100 hp ?
What could be: carburator or CDIs ?

I dont have that problem ,but first thing to come to mind is an intermittent fuel restriction. Do you have a fuel pressure gauge?

Is it a constant in rythm pulse? Is it affected by slight pitch control up or down?

Any work done prior to problem?

I think you need to supply as much details as you can .

I do not have the fuel pressure gauge, it happens at 5.300 rpm in level flight. I did the 500 hours service and changed the cowling
