    Norm-

    I just went through the same thing as you- it's amazing how weird these Rotax's will run with iffy carbs. The worst part about it is there is nothing that exotic about the darn things, but if they are not just right it will give you all sorts of grief. One major thing to check that no one ever thinks about(including me until recently) is the slides. With age those things get sticky and wear, and they will cause all sorts of weirdness(rough running, vibration, even complete engine stop) so check the slides and the inside of the carb- if you see any wear or marks that is bad. Also push the slides up and make sure the return is smooth- on mine they would stick one out of 10 times so it's not very obvious. FWIW
