What should a Carb Sync Cost for a 912 ULS? Given no other issues?

Heck, I'd do it for you if you bought me lunch.

If you know what you are doing, and it is not some oddball installation. It shouldn't take more than 15 minutes, and maybe even less. Now if there is a carb issue causing the imbalance it will that longer.

I had one recently, that was idling to fast, and was having trouble adjusting. Then I noticed that one of the choke springs was missing, and one choke was on all the time. Once I put a new spring on, it took just a few minutes to get it set.

A carb sync is a required part of a Rotax annual or 100 hour condition inspection. Since I flat-rate inspections, it doesn't cost my maintenance customers extra labor, unless there are carb or linkage repairs necessary. But if you come in for just a carb synch, I estimate an hour of labor (because I have to uncowl and recowl the engine, and do a thorough run-up or test flight afterward).
