List, 



There is an Avid 2005 cert'd Heavy Hauler on Barnstormers. The engine is a Jab 2200 of unknown S/N and S/B compliance w/ 125 hours. The cruise at 4GPH is only 65 MPH, looks like a 2 blade warp drive prop. 



This seems a good 10 MPH slow and no where near the cruise step. 



The inlets look like the smaller un modded size, though basic question about Oil Temp and CHT got a "no problems" response. 



At 16K it seems like a good deal- has a panel radio, Narco Trans/Mode C, etc- I know at 6'1 and 230# I'm a tight squeeze- I just fit in a Kitfox IV w/ some stick/leg bumping, but the sig. other is a tiny 5'4 and 115#. 



I've read all the Jabiru S/Bs, the AD note, etc. It has a Bing Carb, but don't know if it's 32 or 40MM- the Rotec TBI looks like the thing to swap to down the road. I don't mind a new prop test phase if there is a better one out there- would like to goto ELSA, so would like to keep it fixed pitch. 



Don't want to spend 6 grand and have to tear down the motor to update it, but I'd take the courses to do the maint. on it as a LSA. 



Suggestions, hints, gotchas? 



Thanks in advance

That is also the older version of the 2200 Jabiru engine with solid lifters and only making 80 Hp

    verses the new version  2200 with Hydrolic lifters  making 85 Hp

   just what little I know about them  having flown a couple of the newer  2200 versions

Actually that serial number produces 85 hp.  Al 2200’s since #1034 when the combustion chamber mod was made are rated at 85 hp.

Can't say I've ever seen this discussed... 



Scouring issues of JabaChat prior to the April 2004 JABIRU 2200 ENGINE POWER RATINGS UPDATED 'official notice', reveals numerous excerpts regarding design improvements said to affect hp from the early 80hp engines. For example, larger 40mm carby from s/n 699 on, extra finning for cooler CHT used from s/n 710 on, new oil sump from s/n 729 on, and longer 107mm cylinders from s/n 832 on.



There is another interesting excerpt taken from JabaChat info published around the time my solid lifter engine (s/n 901) was manufactured which stated the 2200 engine made 83hp on the dyno, so perhaps that indicates most accurately the hp of my engine’s particular configuration. In any event, I came away from that learning session with the impression there are a handful of engines that fall in between the 'official' 80hp or 85hp ratings.



Is it possible the current head and combustion chamber actually account for only about 2hp of the 5hp increase?
