What fuel are you using? I flew the other day and noticed a miss at
about 2700 rpm. Was OK below and above 2800. I remembered that this
happen about 2 years ago when I used ethanol-free auto fuel ...

I don't usually respond to the list but I second Pete's comments. I have an earlier 3300 (ser #531) on a Ch601HD. Yes there are some adjustments that need to be done for each ins ...

I fly a Zodiac601 with 3300 and 400hours. I use full throttle during
climb to which ever altitude but monitor CHT's. If a hot day and CHT's
start to reach 330-340 then I level off and let temps ...

I agree with what Lee has written with one addition. My battery is a 18 AH gel cell. It turns the engine well in warm weather but can't turn the engine to proper speed to fire th ...

I have been flying my 601HD for 11 years now. I soon want to take my
grandson for his first ride. I have the original 3-point lap/shoulder
belts provided by ZAC, but the should harnass is very l ...

I fully agree. The most important factor to correct higher CHT is
OUTFLOW. Increase the opening in the bottom and add a larger lip to the
bottom curve. I duct taped mine on until I found the ri ...

I need to replace the brake pads on my 601HD. They are the original
Matco disc brakes supplied by ZAC. I thought I ordered the correct ones
from Spruce but the ones I got only have 2 rivets, ori ...

I am one of the people that had the original sise-to-side on my HD AND I
had it separate on take-off on the way to Oskhosh. Thankfully my wife
and I were OK. I elected to rebuild using the forwa ...

Bobby,
What did you get for fuel flow with the 2.90 jet. I started using that and got a higher fuel flow-over 6 GPH at cruise. Like you my EGT's and CHT are good with it.

Marcos,
I have a Jabiru 3300, no wheel pants and built per plans except I added the forward tilt canopy. If you stiffen the baggage locker doors (check the list archives) and add ...

Marcos,
I have about 350 hours on my 601HD. Believe me, you DO NOT need flaps on a HD. If I am high on final, all I need to do is pull power to idle and the HD will settle like a ...

Bobby,
I would check your fuel filter. Sounds like restricted flow at time of greatest need (high RPM), only need for minimal flow (idle/cruise)

Tom,
After flying my 601 HD for a while I found the seat back too straight-up for my comfort. I moved the baggage shelf\angles, etc back about 2 inches. Remade all the seat supports and ...

Jeff,
I had similar issues early on. Check the archives as there is alot of
info on cooling issues. Two things that worked for me. 1. It appears
that your air dams at the entrance to the Ram D ...

No never said a word, Just taxied away probably never even saw what
happened to me. The people at the airport were great. Helped to pull
me out of the gravel and used a tractor to pull the plan ...

That was me. I flew to Mt. Pocono Airport on Sunday for a Pancake
breakfast. Somebody in a Pitts cut me off in the pattern and landed
just before me. Without looking he tried to back a 180 on t ...

I have an HD with Jabiru and Grand Rapids. My gascolator is on the lower
right engine side of the firewall. Have never had a vapor lock problem
there. I installed the flow sensor between the fuel ...

Bill,
If you unwind some of the wire from inside the scat tube away from the
outer hose, then cut it off, you can then tighten the outer sheath
without the wire getting in the way. This worked w ...
