ORIGINAL: bdreed

Tried taking the carb apart and cleaning/inspecting it. Put it back on and still the same. The hole in the metal plate seems plenty large and is free of obstruction.

Will probably try Horizon tech. Maybe, have heard they are not that helpful.

Or, put another way, the diaphragm under that hole controls how much fuel gets into the carburetor, like a float bowl on an old car carb. Sometimes oncoming air during flight can throw off the calibration of this regulator. One fix is to fasten some kind of nipple or pipe to the hole on the cover and then hook up a piece of tubing that is ran to another location in front of the firewall, or to penetrate the firewall with the tubing and utilize the "dead air" inside the fuselage to help stabilize the diaphragm's movement.
