Default Rotax 912 Questions

I'm a longtime pilot who is getting interested in building a plane. I've
got lots of experience flying (and paying for maintenance) behind
LyContisuarus engines, so that's all I understand.

Some of the designs I'm interested in recommend the Rotax 912 engine.
These seem to come equipped with twin Bing carbs. As far as I can tell,
these carbs don't have a mixture control for leaning the engine at
altitude. Am I correct? If so, has this been an operational problem with
these engines? Has this proved to be a reliable engine?

TIA,

Steve Robertson
