I have a 2200j motor in my Jabiru LSA55/3J and have had no issues with my engine. I service it regularly and look after it and it is sweet. I fly vast distances here in Australia with it and don’t doubt the motor with these missions. I only use 100LL.
I built a RANS S6 some years ago using the Jabiru 3300. I liked it much better than the Rotax most S6 builders used. At least it didn’t go clunk clunk when it stopped. My only issue was the poor cooling design recommended by Jabiru. Indeed many people were reporting cooling problems in those days. Jabiru focused on keeping the oil cool wit lots of air directed at the fluted oil pan. Instead I fo used air on the cylinders reasoning that there was a higher temperature difference and cooling should be accomplished before the oil heated up. I also made sure the exit airflow was designed to maximize airflow. My design looked almost precisely like a Lycoming design. I never had any issue with cooling and I live in the Arizona desert.
I prefer direct drive engines because they don't sound like vacuum cleaners generally, but have always been very reluctant to fly anything with Jabiru because of many engine failures I know off here in Australia. They got pretty close to being shut down by CASA as far as I heard at one stage.
My current plane (Skystar Pulsar III) was built with a Gen III 2200. My previous plane was built with the Rotax 912ULS. Each has their strengths and their compromises. I've been watching Viking, Aeromomentum and Apex (Edge Performance) Yamaha conversion engines with great interest because I really really really don't like carburetors. And balancing CHTs on these air cooled engines is a futile endeavor. But the form factor of the Jabiru is hard to beat for slick, sporty airframe designs like the Arion Lighting and the Pulsar. Only about 5 or 6 inches above the prop flange centerline is required for clearance of a low, slender, efficient upper cowl. Flying tractors like Zenith, Rans and Cub clones have an acre of firewall and frontal profile to contain anything you want but I keep considering an upgrade to the new 3300 mostly because it is shaped to fit perfectly in the Pulsar's sporty cowl. If it was only fuel injected, it would be perfect.
2 questions: 1) please go in extreme detail regarding if I can use shell gas station MoGas 91 or 93 octane in my Jabiru 2200 since AvGas is not easy to come by for me in rural Ontario Canada. 2) I want some extra power from my 2200, please let me know if any bolt on modifications to squeeze some extra power, other than getting a ground adjustable prop. Need just a little more power for attaching amphibious floats and take off with extra drag on water. Your time is greatly appreciated! Looking forward to your response
@@DylanClements98 can you elaborate on this please - to confirm, you do in fact use MoGas 91 or 93 octane in your Jabiru 2200? I don't have access to AvGas here in rural Ontario Canada, hence why I am inquiring. So you are saying 91 or 93 MoGas in my 2009 Jabiru 2200 with work? Can I mix seafoam in it or an octane booster as well or not recommended? Change oil more if MoGas is used? What good quality oil should I use? Thanks. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Can you spell disingenuous? There have been multiple technical issues with these motors and the company has ducked responsibility. They won't even tell you which motors are prone to which failure, you just take your chances. Overheating, premature overhauls, bolt failures, valve failures, rocker wear, oil consumption etc etc. The company needs to recall all the old engines and replace them with Gen 4, if they don't they will learn the hard way in court. The USA won't allow mfg to skate when it comes to failures of aircraft engines.

That is NOT quite the way it was. I would suggest watching th-cam.com/video/250TMFHlreE/w-d-xo.html for the correct story.

@@ultralightnews why would this engine fail. it is a copy of a copy of a copy.
Luv my Jab3300. It's an older Gen 2 - but if I ever have to replace it - will go with the Gen 4 in a heartbeat.

FoesFlyDennis what do you think of UL? I don’t know much but I think they’re fuel injected and fadec

Jab donks only have neg issues due operator error! My 2.2L runs like a Swiss watch cause I look after it!
Did going to cast from billet save the customer any money on purchase cost?
Unless my computer setup is suddenly malfunctioning, your left and right audio channels are flipped
I hope these guys are at Oshkosh this year
"The only way we know that is because we can run a little more prop" Don't they run these things on a Dyno?
You have to remember people don't all ways see things the same way
@@terriecotham1567 What does that mean?
He said you could use mogas 91!!, It's very well known that jabies have detonation problems, no wonder why so many through bolts failures.
If you sale engine how we connect
It would be nice if they could get those engines to run on automotive fuel and add fuel injection.
