Rotax912ul sputters when reducing throttle

Hello,
After installing the new fuel pump my Rotax sputters now and then when reducing the throttle.
What could be the remedy?
Best regards Jan Kerstens

Is it actually a sputter like a fuel issue or just a rough spot in the rpm when throttling back?

It's possible you have a leaky needle valve? How's the carb sync?

Hi Roger,

Carb synch OK. No rough spot on RPM: no vibrations. When I increase the throttle when the sputter occurs it will immediately disappears. Need for concern?

Hi Roger,

Reflected on what you said: leaky needle valve: I assume you mean that the float needle is not properly closing off. If so what is the remedy?

That's the one. Adjusting the float arm level or Replacement.
