Hello. I fly a Zodiac XL with a Jabiru 3300. I am considering
replacing the Bing carby with an Aero Carb. I've read a lot about the
Aero Carb. Now I would like to find information from those who have
actually used it on the Jab 3300. What are the good points? Are there
any criticisms or bad points? I also fly certified aircraft so I am
used to having mixture control on those planes. I live near mountains
so getting over them is a must...I sometimes fly short distances as high
as 13500 feet. Any information from experience that you might have is
greatly appreciated.

I am working on the installation of an Aerocarb on a 3300 installed in a CH601XL.
I have had problems with heat causing vapor in the fuel lines. Once this is
fixed, I will post a solution and you can decide if you want to go that route.

Read a little bit about the Rotec TBI-40 before you make up your mind
about swapping fuel metering systems. Don't know much about its use
on a 3300, but it works well on my 2200.

Brad,
I fitted an Aerocarb to my J3300 and decided it was unsafe. The slide
mechanism is off centre and near low throttle openings the slide jams. When
I attempted to suggest some design modifications I was abused. When I asked
for a refund I was told to sell it on eBay.
Take a close look at the way in which the cable is attached to the slide.
Movement of the cable causes the slide to tilt and twist because the
attachment is off centre and also is not coplanar with the slide.
At low throttle settings there is a lot of suction force on the slide and
although the company has tried several different mods to reduce friction
they have not addressed the cause of the problem.
A hangar mate had a similar experience with an installation on the 4cyl Jab
engine.
Peter
