Rotax 377 strange throttle response
in General Tech Discussion
11 years ago
I recently finished assembling a Quicksilver MXL with a Rotax 377. The airframe is ready to go, but the engine is not responding properly. I will slowly apply power and the RPM climbs steadily as expected. The tach reads ~4k RPM just under half throttle. Then right around half throttle, the engine hits a point where it suddenly jumps to redline levels (8k+). If I push the throttle past the half point, it will come back down into the 4k RPM range. No matter what I do, I can't get it to the full power level (6k RPM).
Any ideas of what is happening?
