    Main Jet Correction Chart For Different Altitudes and Temperatures

    Uploaded by

    Darel Dalmasso
    This document provides a chart and instructions for adjusting the main jet size in Rotax engines to account for changes in altitude and temperature from sea level. The air-fuel mixture becomes richer at higher altitudes due to lower air density. The chart lists adjustment percentages for different altitude-temperature combinations to use in calculating the new optimized main jet size based on the engine's base size. An example calculation is given to illustrate adjusting from a base size of 165 to 155 for an altitude of 6,800 feet and a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius.

    Main jet correction chart for different altitudes and temperatures

    Air density decreases with decreasing pressure and increasing temperature. If an


    engine is operated at higher sea level, the weight of the aspirated air decreases,
    whereas the aspirated fuel quantity remains practically the same. This results in richer
    air/fuel mixture than at lower sea level.

    To adjust your main jet in your Rotax engine for your specific altitude and temperature
    range, use the following chart and formula. Rotax Engines are shipped with main jets
    optimized for sea level operation at 15c (unless requested otherwise). Use this jet size
    as your 100% base jet size for your calculation (refer to Standard Carburetor Jetting
    chart for base main jet size).

    Find your altitude and temperature range on the chart then use this number as a
    percentage of the base jet size. Use the following calculation.

    B = base main jet size (size of main jet shipped with engine)
    P = number from chart
    N = New jet size

    B X P = N

    For example, a Rotax 447 UL SCDI comes shipped with a 165 main jet (B=165). You
    want to use this engine at Meadow Lake Airport in Colorado (6,800ft) in the summer time
    (20c) (P=0.94). Take the base main jet size of 165 and times by 0.94. This indicates
    you should use a main jet of approx 155. (always round up to the nearest available jet
    size).
