Good point, Jean-Pierre. I never thought much about that issue, but regardless of the cause for rough running I would turn on the electric pump and figure out the cause when I'm back on the ground.

Default Floats

I have an old BMW "airhead" motorcycle which has Bing carbs like the Rotax. The carbs floats have to be adjusted just right between the point where they overflow and where they suck the bowl dry.
