For various reasons ir onlt has about 13 hours in 18 months and I have now found that although there have been no previous symptoms the starter motor has seized almost solid. There is no smell or indication of electrical failure. Any comments or similar experiences? Pat Ladd ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:34:52 AM PST US Subject: Re: JabiruEngine-List: Rough Engine From: japhillipsga@aol.com Chuck, you have a firing issue. If it was me the first thing I would do is chage plugs. They may be failing for one reason of another. I had somewhat of a similiar problem with my 3300 but the solution was a divider in the intake . I would also check the ends of the plugs, and the distributor cap for tightness. Lastly, you may have a problem in the carb for too rich. See Jab manual for help. Best of luck, Bill -----Original Message----- From: Chuck Deiterich Sent: Wed, 28 Nov 2007 12:27 pm Subject: JabiruEngine-List: Rough Engine I have a Jabiru 2200, serial # 988 with 91 hours. It is on a Zenith 701 with a Prince P-Tip prop 64X26. ? During the last couple of flights I noticed some vibration starting a couple of minutes after takeoff while still climbing at wide open throttle (about 3000 rpm).? Throttling back to 2800 rpm the vibration went away.? But climbing later in flight at wide open throttle the vibration returned, the vibration was not bad but noticeable.? On my most recent flight, the vibration started again a couple of minutes into the flight.? Later in flight to climb the vibration got very bad (rough) and shook the whole airplane.? Throttling back it was a smooth as glass.? It seemed that the vibration would now start before wide open throttle and also carb heat seemed to make it worse.? I throttled back to 2800 rpm and headed for home and landed in about 10 minutes.? Engine was smooth. ? I periodically check the exhaust pipes for soot.? Usually there would be?a little?on my finger, but this past flight it was very black and completely covered the end of my finger. ? Any suggestions as to what the problem is and how to fix it? Thanks, Chuck D.

I do not have any EGT's but will probably get them. Chuck D.

That causes the starter to lock up. I was far away from home base. I managed to reseat it and get back home. The starter was replaced under warrantee. I did try to using locktight (sp) but the bearing fell out again. The starter clutch failed later. I had to buy that.
