(Lynn Matteson) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 05:36:32 PM PST US From: Lynn Matteson Subject: JabiruEngine-List: It runs! After 7 weeks on the "disabled list" I fired up my rebuilt Jabiru 2200 this evening...and it sounded great. I cranked it for a few seconds with ignition off, just to be sure that it would NOT start. Then I switched the "mags" on and fired her up...what a sweet sound after so long silent. The new ignition system worked flawlessly, and a mag check showed the normal very little drop between the two systems. This is the Electroair ignition system that I'm speaking of, and uses two magnetic sensors aimed at the crankshaft trigger wheel. So far I'm thrilled with the new system, and with (patting myself on the back) the way the engine now runs. I'm not saying that it's any better than the stock Jabiru ignition system, but a few hours from now when I would normally have to check my rotors...what rotors? That's a small issue to be sure, but hopefully I'll have piece of mind with the new rebuild and the new ignition system. Test flight comes tomorrow morning.
