Graziano" Subject: JabiruEngine-List: re: New owners tools question Don, I believe you will love the Jab in your 601 XL - I sure do in mine. For routine preventative maintenance, common hand tools should suffice. The only thing you may or may not have in your tool box are 3/16 and 1/4 inch ball nose 3/8 inch drive long hex wrenches. These can be used many places on the engine to check torque or to remove cap screws. Not a problem changing out any carb jets with common 1/4 drive socket wrenches (10 mm, if I recall correctly). I doubt if you will have to change the jets with a new engine though. One thing I changed on the engine was to install a quick change oil change valve in place of the oil plug. Sure makes changing oil easier. Put one end of a hose on the valve with the other end in a bottle/container and open the valve - no mess. Bought mine from Jab USA for about $25, I think.

Are there any tools I should order now? I was watching the how-to video with can-zac and he was pulling apart the carburetor. Do I need the jet removal tool? What else. Your input is greatly appreciated.
