Change of Jets (Carby)

[BigPete]

Just fitted the new jets to my Jabiru J160c as per the latest Service Bulletin. ;)

 

Power is uneffected, but temps are down in the climb out (no where near the yellow) and it's so much smooooooother! ;) Yay!

What about in the way of fuel consumption?

Don't know yet - will have to see how it goes. :;)4: One things for sure, I'd rather burn a bit more fuel than burn a valve. :) A few extra liters per hour is cheap peace of mind. ;)

After flying for two months with the new jets I'm probably burning 1.5 to 2 extra liters per hour :):) - small price to pay for cooler running and peace of mind. ;);)

just got back from a trip from camden to Biloela (near rockhampton) . The new jets were put in just before we took off..Deffinatly burned a little more fuel for the power setting..But 4785 never approached the yellow of the oil temp even b4 the jet change, but the cht runs very cold, and curiously the cht gets into the yellow on the cold end during climb..very strange and unnerving when descending and then going to cruise power..

Was the extra fuel ok, no problems?
