A well-maintained
Rotax carburetor system can often have unexpected visitors;
note the open vent line (arrow). Although necessary for
correct operation of the carburetor, this is an inviting
place for a worm or insect to nest.
If one of these critters
gets in there it can shut off the carburetor air balance and
stop the engine. This is an important area to check during a
pre-flight if the aircraft has not flown for an extended
period.
