Vev Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Need some help in terms of propeller fitment? The Jabiru service manual for the 2200 engine does not provide any details in terms of a position for fitting the propeller relative to the crank. I was intending to fit my prop at 1-7 o’clock position with number 1 cyl on TDC. Can anyone provide any help or insight? Regards Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vev Posted July 2, 2010 Author Share Posted July 2, 2010 I just found some details in a Jab construction manual for all models. They say to rotate the engine until one set of flywheel magnets are at the top and then fit the prop in the 11 - 5 o'clock position.

jacmiles Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Jack, how are your prop bolt theads? If you are refitting a jab prop remember that any wear on the thead will result in 7 psi tension achieved too early,resulting in a prop that is not bolted to the hub correctly.Can end up in all sorts of trouble if that happens.

Vev Posted July 3, 2010 Author Share Posted July 3, 2010 Hi JM, Thanks for that ... I am fitting a carbon fibre prop and fitted it today with all new nuts and bolts. Cheers Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
