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 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. -------- Mark Hubelbank Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=261668#261668 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 06:40:11 PM PST US From: Lynn Matteson Subject: Re: JabiruEngine-List: Aero Carb 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.

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.
