To fix a Rotax 912 Series engine that will not idle below 2000 RPM, follow these steps:

1. Adjust Idle Speed: Use the idle speed adjustment screw to lower the idle RPM. Ensure that both screws are turned the same amount.
2. Check Engine Smoothness: If the engine does not run smoothly, adjust the mixture screw as needed.
3. Perform Pneumatic Synchronization: Use vacuum gauges to ensure both carburetors have an equal flow rate at idle.
4. Verify Mechanical Synchronization: Ensure the carburetors are properly synchronized before adjusting idle speed.
5. Check for Air Leaks: Inspect the intake system for leaks that could cause high idle.
6. Inspect Throttle Cables: Ensure throttle cables are properly adjusted and not holding the throttle open.
7. Secure the Aircraft: Before making adjustments, ensure the aircraft is properly secured.

If the problem persists, further inspection or consultation with an authorized ROTAX technician may be necessary.
