Setting up to check carb synch is most of the work, such as it is, any subsequent adjustment is trivial. Not the same in that way as for example valve adjustment, on a different engine that needs it periodically.
Same here. Normally it was rather just a check than any adjustment needed (Rotax 914 UL, >850 h).
We synced my 912 ULS carbs when we installed the engine in my RV12 2 years ago. On each subsequent check they’ve been absolutely fine with no adjustment needed. It really isn’t a big deal.
Get the fuel injected versions (912/915 iS) instead ;-)
Unfortunately yes :)
So the Rotax engines have dual carburettors?

That was very well said :-)
Or in other words (using ‘pilot speak’) carb synchronization is adjusting the throttles so that the left intake manifold and right manifold have the same MP at all cockpit throttle control positions.
It means to adjust both of them so the operate in synch. The same throttle setting, the same idle setting. One carb supplies the left side of the engine, the other carb the right side.

What does it even mean?
