Hi Jerry,

<<<<<You must divide by two for the rotax not multiply, so half the  
problem>>>>>>

The reason for two carbs on the Rotax is not redundancy but  
performance. I am pretty sure that if one carb fails completely on the  
Rotax, the engine runs so rough that you had better stop it  
immediately and land.  Therefore the probability of engine failure due  
to a carb problem on a Rotax is two times higher than on a Jabiru.

Regards
Remi
