Jack,
Please send me a set of pictures.
Well, one wing is in the wing stand and I'm starting the rebuild of the left
wing. I only lost about 10-12 hours of work. I drilled out all of the rivets
and kept the spar, nose ribs, wing walk stiffeners, and aileron bell crank
support and channel. I've already drilled and clecoed the ribs to the spar
and rear channel and primed them this morning. I should be working on the
top skin by tomorrow night.
I'm still waiting on the tanks from Zenith. They told me (after I sent mine
back) that it would be end of summer before I got the new tanks. Well, if
I'm finished with the second wing then I'll just move on to the rest of the
fuselage.
Happy building!
Mark

Howdy group: I guess I will be the first one to change it but my step cross
tube is now on the inside of the fuselage and it came out pretty good if I
do say so myself! I have posted pictures on my website but since too many
folks can't view it at once you may not get in. If you can't see them I will
email the pics to you. I would like to know what you think or if any changes
should be made. jack

Phil,
The fuel pressure sending unit is right at the carb, seems like if tank vent
or other restrictions were present,it would show low reading, it has held
constant at 6-7 psi during the misfiring events.
Trampas,
Thanks for the suggestion, I have a manifold pressure gauge hooked in to the
inductions system. When/if I have it happen again, I'll take note of the
readings on the MP.

To the list,
My apologies, this was obviously meant for Jack Russell and not the whole
list.

Jabiru
3300.
--> Zenith-List message posted by: xl <xl@prosody.org>
Has anyone had this happen?
This may be my 3rd uncommon failure with my 601XL + Jabiru 3300.
First front wheel bearings at 20 hours.
Then a muffler at 63 hours and 70 hours.
Now at 70.5 hours a starter failure (the stock Bosch one) - ha -
at least I *know* it wasn't my fault this time - or was it... :) .
Yesterday I installed a pair of SuperTrapp mufflers and wanted
to flight test them. But the starter would not turn the engine
over. one-eighth to 1/4 turn is all it would do. So, I charged the
battery overnight to rule it out. My alternator works fine - but...
Still the same with a verified fully charged battery.
I took the starter apart and found that the main bearing at the
gear end was out of the seat. When the starter turned, the shaft
cocked and jammed the starter - a good way to destroy the starter.
I managed to get the bearing back in by holding a screwdriver
against the bearing and tapping the housing. There is no straight
forward access to the bearing. It was that or pull the gear off
the shaft and then try to get it back on securely.
I plan to check that bearing every 50 hours.

P.S. The SuperTrapps seem to work fine.
