I fired up the Rotax 912 ULS on my Van's RV-12 for  a few moments this morning....it started right up...with throttle at full closed  could not get rpm down to the 1800 or so I wanted at 'idle'   it would  not go less than  3,470 rpm so I shut it down and left it for  tomorrow...family responsibilities only let me work on the plane for a few hours  each day....a quick peek through the oil door at the right carb didn't show  anything obvious, so I will have to await tomorrow to do some trouble  shooting....I fully suspect some sort of carb problem...I recall carefully  setting the controls and the stops when I installed the engine, but something  isn't quite right.
