All,

Please be aware of revised information from Jabiru about engine carburetion and tuning. See [url=http://www.jabiru.net.au/]www.jabiru.net.au for more details. I’ll be happy to try t ...

I'm not sure if there is an oil circuit diagram for the hydraulic tappets; Jabiru's latest I&M manual has the same drawing as before, and the lifters aren't shown. However, I can tell you they are ...

All you guys are making sensible and valid points - thanks. I re-read my original response about John's two coil failures and perhaps should clarify. There really is no 'Jabiru Policy' about what, and ...

I'm not sure if further explanation is needed on this latest cooling advice but here goes anyway:

1. Jabiru engines get installed and operated in a huge variety of aircraft. The only installations ...

1. The latest test has different reference points than before, when the pressure was compared with ambient and at an airspeed of only 1.3 Vs.
2. The higher pr ...

The following information was received by Dealers from Jabiru, and is posted in advance of being incorporated into manuals and warranty policy:

The latest Jabiru 3300 (6 - cylinder) engine manuals have now been added to our web site for information. These are for engines from serial number 33A 961 onwards which include hydraulic valve gear an ...

Hi Chuck,

Sorry for the delayed reply. Those cap-screws do stick pretty-well from the constant heat/cool cycles so yes, it might be a good idea to loosen and then retighten them to ensure they are ...

Jabiru specify using Bellville washers for mounting Jabiru propellers, because the wood they use is softer (relatively) than is used by other prop manufacturers. The washers are made of spring steel a ...

Hi Bob,

Welcome to the list!

Cheers, Andy

Sorry about the spurious characters; I must make sure to compose the message here and not in Word in future! Here's (hopefully) the cleaned-up version (I can't get the line lengths consistent!):

Lynn,

I emailed you direct but now that this Matronics forum has a better interface and features I think there will be many more join the list.
