    How do you know ? Your an astro naut are you ? All work and no play ..... so they say , Back when jabiru first started ; one of the first kits , made by the the "tooth fairy " at Bundaberg , the local ABC radio interviewed him and " cookie " his mate , They are both on record and went on air sitting in the half completed fuse making all sorts of airplane noises to there harts content . They did complete it , and went on to achive similar highs of excellence , We all carnt be an astronaut

    If it runs better with fresh fuel , good bet its the fuel . Ive had similar issues with stale &or contaminated 95 & 98 , ive gon back to avgas , and have resolved the build up of crud by running a tank of fress mogas when its available and i'm about to do a lot of flying . I will pull the heads off at 200 hrs anywhoo. This isnt a rotax , LCH 3300 jab . Same issues with the cooler running heads . I found by draing tanks and leaving them dry for longish periods the fuel lines tend to dry out and on one occasion i had fuel leaks when i filled up again I leave a few litrs of avgas in the tanks ( fibro glass ) metal tanks are kept full , keeps everything moist .

    The Avocet runs well with the SDS efi .those figures and fuel savings are correct , There is a HUGE difference in the fuel economy and power increase and smooth running EGT spread within 50deg . Compared to carby ? Heaps better . Im going to order the ignition module from SDS , as soon as ive replaced the clutch , gearbox & tranfer box on the Discovery !!! Cars , who needs em !!? Mike .

    The jab coils dont like getting hot , cool air should be ducted onto them . The only trouble ive had is with long hot taxi , at Avalon one year , changed the coil out and have not had any issues since , irridium or D9EA plugs .

    Hi ,Have you got a 62 x54 pitch Pusher prop for jabiru 3300 ? Mike

    Rod Stiff showed us that teqnique for short field takeoff , It didnt make it into the POH. It works well in the LSA55 jab , key is not to dump the full flap to quickly, or to low! In the J230 , if you rap the throttle to quick and lift the nose off to early you could (i did) end up making an unskedualed left hand turn !! Mike
