Hello,
I not flying yet but in a conversation with another jabiru pilot, they, (2 planes, 2 jabiru's, same concern) actually reduced throw on the carb butterfly. We are talking a small amount.
It was states that they still felt the engine was a full power but the butterfly valve didn't quite make 100% open.
My conversation with them was carb airflow concerns I had while still building. The concerns where stimulates from the past 8 years of listening to this forum. That is how this subject came up.
Anyhow, may be worth a Try only using 95% butterfly movement or at least reducing in small increments on a trial basis.
Safe flying!

Subject: Rough running Jab 3300
I'm having a few issues with my Jab 3300 solid lifter engine. Intermittentl
y, normally under load in the climb, it develops a miss in either one or ot
her of the front cylinders. The miss/rough running only lasts between about
10 and 20 seconds and recurs every couple of hours or so of flying - but i
s enough to make me look around quickly for an off field landing area.=0AHa
ve checked the resistance and condition of the HT leads and also the coils.
All seem to be ok.=0AThe errant cylinder is easy to track via the EGT prob
es and is always number 1 or 2 which is suddenly about 100 degrees C cooler
than the others.=0AThe engine has 70 hours on it and starts well hot or co
ld - is burning no oil and throws virtually no oil into the breather bottle
.. All engine parameters are great including cylinder head temps. Except for
this darn miss.=0A=0AAnyone else out there having or had a similar problem

Hi Gary,
First let me say I am no expert on engines of any sort. So don't depend
on my being right.
I once had some strange miss-firing because the carburetor was loose.
It was more dramatic than your story and only went bad when I reduced to
idle power for descent.
The thing that comes to mind listening to your story is you are at a
high angle of attack. That suggests there is something about the air
flow to the carburetor might be funny. In my plane I took extra
measures to straighten out the air flow just in front of the
carburetor. There are several ways to do this, and I don't really know
if any are necessary.
A 3300 is a large engine for a 701. You must get very high pitch on the
aircraft nose when climbing. This suggests a possible problem with fuel
pressure could be involved. Do you have a boost pump?
Good luck,
Paul
