Rotax 582 will not pick up revs

After standing for 4 months I started my Rotax 582 blue top this morning.
It fired without problems but will only idle.
The moment I open the throttle it simply dies.

It was running perfectly the last time.

Advice please.

Re: Internet Problems

I must add that for a couple of weeks now the Vodacom 3G here in Burgersdorp is pathetic. I am using a K4510-Z modem.
It simply cuts out numerous times during a 2 or 3 hour session. Very frustrating especially if busy with serious banking transactions.

Re: Whos doing what for the holidays?

So damn bored - waiting for the skydivers to arrive over the weekend at Paradise Beach.
Definately going to join them for a 12000' tandem jump. Can't wait.

Sitting in my holiday home on the lagoon in Aston Bay. Watching aircraft in and out from Paradise Beach and listening to all the talk on my Icom A14.

Re: EGT Rotax 582

Morph,
I must add that these are Fahrenheit temps. So the one cylinder is actually running very cold.[normal 1050-1100 degrees F]
Could it be a faulty temp probe/censor?

Thanks for the reply.

Regards

EGT Rotax 582

The temps [EGT] on my Rotax 582 Bluetop all of a sudden differ a lot - as much as 490 reading on the one and 1050 reading on the other one.

Possible causes?

Where must i start with fault finding?

Cleaning Rotax 582 blue top

Can it do any harm if I apply engine cleaner with a brush and then wash it with one of these household high pressure washers?
Any do's or don"ts?

Thanks
