WIngsWithoutBarriers Posted August 27 Posted August 27 Hey all, I was wondering what type of mags that Jabiru uses as I'm looking at the JP EDM 350 and it only takes slick or bendix mags. It would be a great help if you could help me with this and I don't want to annoy Jabiru with my constant questions.
Red Posted August 27 Posted August 27 (edited) The Jab uses neither Bendix or slick type but a system basically akin to a motorcycle magneto . Looking at the manual ii think that the sensor for the slick 600 would work with a suitable bracket that put the sensor close to the flywheel magnets, give JP a call. I'm quite surprised that they advertise this unit for only those 2 magneto types with no mention of usage on the Jab or rotax. Some the stuff available from MGL (Blaze and VEGA EMS units) has the same functions for a lot less money and are certainly compatible with the Jab Edited August 27 by Red
facthunter Posted August 27 Posted August 27 Gel coat is better than Paint. Once you start the Paint process you've no end of trouble. CLEAN it. Nev

kgwilson Posted August 29 Posted August 29 Jabiru Gen 3 uses Honda transistorised coils. They are not pulse magnetos in the traditional sense so you can't hand prop a Jabiru engine as they require 300RPM to activate. Jabiru has these in stock. I replaced both coils on My gen 3 when I found the originals which were Honda copies began misfiring at different times. This manifested in me thinking I had a crook plug or HT lead. With the correct coils the engine runs very sweetly. See photo of the correct part attached. I tried to source these elsewhere but with freight etc it was cheaper from Jabiru. Note these are for the 3300 6 cylinder engine but I think the coils are the same for the 2200. 2
onetrack Posted August 29 Posted August 29 Genuine Honda parts - "Made in China"! It must feel good, relying 100% on staying airborne, using the finest Chinese-manufactured components!? 😮
kgwilson Posted August 29 Posted August 29 Everything is made in China these days. Pay a good price and you get exceptional quality. iPhones are all made in China now. My car was made in China & has a 10 year warranty. Construction quality and materials are excellent. Even motoring critics said the fit & finish was better than some Mercedes Benz products. 2 2
Red Posted August 29 Posted August 29 A good friend of mine regularly visits Chinese Factories to arrange supply of mostly audio/video equipment, he has said they often hand you some poor/inconsistant quality to start with and you have to be really clear about what quality you want...so it takes him a couple of trips but in the end he gets the quality he wants and even with the to and fro factored in and the time lost it must make more financial sense than buying from home or perhaps there just isnt anywhere closer that actually makes mass market electronics these days From my own experience in the world of Bicycles, China makes some right garbage as do a lot of the suppossed high end western companies, but Taiwan makes awesome Bikes, the best in the world..funny that Sorry for huuuge thread drift 1

RFguy Posted September 10 Posted September 10 HONDA part number 30500-Z1C-023 Go onto jab-camit groups.io forum for more information here https://jabcamit.groups.io/g/main/search?p=recentpostdate/sticky,,R ignition coil failure,20,2,0,105990390
kgwilson Posted September 10 Posted September 10 That is a different part No to the one supplied by Jabiru. Once I installed the second coil, Honda part No 30500-ZE2-003 my engine has run better than it ever did before
RFguy Posted September 10 Posted September 10 there are some differences and compatibilities between certain types of 'suppressor leads"
kgwilson Posted September 10 Posted September 10 The Jabiru supplied coil has the exact length of copper strand lead and connector to the distributor cap. I noticed that some others have a length of lead which you need to cut to length and install the end connector and push fit rubber cap. 1
