Actually that serial number produces 85 hp. Al 2200=99s since #1034
when the combustion chamber mod was made are rated at 85 hp.

That is also the older version of the 2200 Jabiru engine with solid lifter
s and only making 80 Hp
verses the new version 2200 with Hydrolic lifters making 85 Hp
just what little I know about them having flown a couple of the newer 22
00 versions

Subject: JabiruEngine-List: Jab 2200 Solid lifter in Avid Heavy Hauler
List,
There is an Avid 2005 cert'd Heavy Hauler on Barnstormers. The engine is
a Jab
2200 of unknown S/N and S/B compliance w/ 125 hours. The cruise at 4GPH is
only
65 MPH, looks like a 2 blade warp drive prop.
This seems a good 10 MPH slow and no where near the cruise step.
The inlets look like the smaller un modded size, though basic question abo
ut Oil
Temp and CHT got a "no problems" response.
At 16K it seems like a good deal- has a panel radio, Narco Trans/Mode C,
etc- I
know at 6'1 and 230# I'm a tight squeeze- I just fit in a Kitfox IV w/ som
e
stick/leg bumping, but the sig. other is a tiny 5'4 and 115#.
I've read all the Jabiru S/Bs, the AD note, etc. It has a Bing Carb, but
don't
know if it's 32 or 40MM- the Rotec TBI looks like the thing to swap to dow
n the
road. I don't mind a new prop test phase if there is a better one out ther
e-
would like to goto ELSA, so would like to keep it fixed pitch.
Don't want to spend 6 grand and have to tear down the motor to update it,
but
I'd take the courses to do the maint. on it as a LSA.
Suggestions, hints, gotchas?
Thanks in advance
Several Problems
1) You can do maintenance now, but will never be able to do condition insp
ections unless you become an A&P. To do inspections on it with the two-da
y course, it had to be converted to an ELSA a couple years ago. then you
could do inspections.
2) A two blade warp drive is not a good prop for this plane. Better a 62-
40 Sensinich or even a 62-38
3) Not likely a problem with the engine UNLESS it has been overheated....w
hich is a possiblity. The key is not the inlets but rather if there is a
cowling Lip on the exit
4) Stick with the Bing...no real advantage has been shown by any "regular
people" using the TBI
5) Small cabin is a problem with the AVID.....
6) Key to engine is a differential leakdown cylinder test. Any low cyls
indicate possible overheating problems.
Price is a little low if plane is well built, which indicates dissatisfact
ion with the engine.
Dont buy without flying
