In an effort to curb carb heat problems with the Bing carburetor I've
purchased a Rotec TBI injector for my 2200 Jabiru. Before I try to
work out all the cable and air filter problems, I was wondering if
anyone has installed this TBI on their Jabiru? Pictures would really
help and a pusher configuration would be even better as my Jabiru is
installed on a Kolb Mark III X-tra.

Colin,

What are your "heat problems" with the Jab running the Bing 94? I have no experience with the TBI but have a good bit of experience with a Jabiru 2200 on a Kolb Slingshot. Perhaps I , or one of the other experienced Jabiru/Kolbers, can help.

If you are determined to change to TBI, I suggest you ask your question on the Jabiru Engines Forum on Yahoo Groups website. In any case, they will want to know what you mean specifically by "heat problems". There are several on that list who have changed to TBI or AeroCarb, some with success, some not so much. Most of them (tractor configurations) did it to have manual control over mixture. If that is your desire, installing a HACman on the Bing will accomplish that, or even making your own is a fairly simple process. That said, I was able to get the EGTs with the Bing exactly where they should be at cruise and full power climb by installing Jabiru's economy tuning kit.

Thom, no heat problems with the Jabiru engine. I am having carb-ice
problems with the bing carb the minute the temp drops below 60 degrees
on a humid day. No problem here in Texas during the Summer, but this
time of year it gets your attention. I looked at the electric heating
element, but chose the TBI instead. A little more money, but a lot
more in fuel management. I did put that message on the Jabiru list,
but no bites yet. I'll take your advise and try the Yaho sites.

Thanks
