Posted: Thu Nov 12, 2009 7:05 am Post subject: Bing 94 carb question

I recently dissasembled, inspected and cleaned the Bing 94 carb on my Jabiru 2200A #1574. All is well after 240 hours. 



Yesterday, I did the same for a customer's carb from Jabiru 2200A #2058. It is in great shape but I found one anomaly (or so it seems to me) and would like to find out if any of your Bing 94 carbs have this same thing. In the brass tube that receives fuel from  starting chamber in the float bowl (not the main jet area but the small diameter chamber at one corner) there is a tiny hole in the side of this brass tube about 3/16" below the top of the fuel bowl, and thus above the normal fuel level in the bowl. If this hole is not supposed to be there it could be contributing to the cold start problem he is having by allowing excess air to be drawn in and less than full rich fuel charge during engine start.



My question is this: Have any of you seen this tiny hole in the side of the brass tube that picks up fuel in the start chamber? My Bing 94 does not have this nor does any Bing 64 carb on which i've worked (lots of them).



I spolke to Pete yesterday about this and he said he has never noticed this but would be looking at one of his carbs to see. I'd like to hear from any other Jabiru operators with Bing 94 carbs to see if this tiny hole is a manufacturing anomaly or "as designed" in the later engines.



I've attached a photo of the carb with the hole I'm asking about.

Just checked the Bing (guess its a 94...) that came with my 3300a s.n. 1053

It does indeed have the hole as per your pic. Bing is unused/unneeded.

J.



Thanks for your quick reply. It is unlikely that this hole is in more than one carb if it is not intentional, so it is beginning to appear to me that this is a design change implemented sometime after mine was built.

Thom,

 Looks like the bottom of the tube has had a taper machined on it,like you would do to assist pressing it into the carb body.

Yes, Gary. I noticed that too. My guess is they make both ends tapered so that it does not matter which end is pickup by the robot that presses the other end into the base of the carb. Nothing is made by hand anymore.... other than our airplanes .

Just thought the hole would be below the float level if it were reversed.

Now that I know that this one carb is not the only one with this hole, I must assume that it is there by design and performs some desirable function. Since it is above the fuel level its purpose must be to allow some air to be drawn in along with the fuel in the starting chamber, in effect either leaning it somewhat or perhaps it helps to aerate or atomize it a bit. Only the Bing engineers will know the real reason it is there. My thoughts are pure speculation.

The Bing that was once on my engine (#2062) also has this hole, for  

what it's worth.

I have seen these holes above fuel level on many carbs and yes, it is to aerate the fuel to assist in vaporisation.

 

 Cheers,

 Peter
