Main is 255 and a bit too lean change to 260

Needle is 2.76 and a bit too rich change to 2.70

My Jab 2200 is hyd lifter type with 225 main drilled out to a 235 and climb on
the hottest is 1280 F

My needle jet was supposed to be a 2.80, but when Jabiru drilled it they didn't
drill far enough and that left a ridge at the bottom of the hole that was equivalent
to a 2.75.  This gave 1425-1450 on the hottest in cruise. 

I drilled it the rest of the way with a #33 drill to clean out the ridge.  This
gave a 2.80 and the hot EGT in cruise is 1400 F.

Hello everyone.

I will be building another airplane using the Jabiru 3300 engine. Has anyone 
had problems with reliability?

Thanks
Gary
