I'm sure the compressions are fine. It's the low-end I think *might* be a concern. My last mechanic would tell me at least for Lycs that when the engine was past it's time TBO (10 years), it should be valued as needing a major. Other than that there is the issue that the early jabs had many problems. What the previous answer was trying to do, in fact, in replacing the rods & jugs was eliminate the common problems. I was wondering if there might be others I wasn't aware of. I know they made many changes to those early engines. Thanks again for the replies.

No offense intended to the fine Kitfox folks, but they tend to be Rotax knowledgeable, and not so much on the Jabirus. Or just email Pete Krotje at: pete@usjabiru.com And even as brilliant as I am, I wouldn't know how to answer your question. : ) Lynn Matteson Kitfox IV Speedster, taildragger Jabiru 2200, #2062, 920.2 hrs (since 3-27-2006) Countdown to 1000 hrs~79.8 to go(91 days to go) Sensenich 62"x46" Wood (summer) Electroair direct-fire ignition system Rotec TBI-40 injection Status: flying (and learning) do not archive On Apr 24, 2010, at 10:19 AM, Paul Folbrecht wrote: > > > I appreciate it, but it's not the health of the top-end I have any > concern over.

I don't need it for testing so it doesn't have to be the latest version. Just looking to get educated on some topics. Please respond direct to brentbidus@juno.com with how old it is and how much you will sell for.
