Hey guys/gals: I purchased a Jabiru powered CH 601 HD last week (in California). I did not have any problems flying it home (Central Florida) But when I went out yesterday, the engine wants to cough every minute or so. It really gets your attention.
I have removed the cowling, checked the fuel for any foreign matter and looked carefully over all the engine connections to ensure that nothing has come loose or changed. So far it looks great. I must admit that I do not know what to check next.
I was told prior to the purchase that the carburetor has the modifications for the leaner burn, and it ran great on the way home. Over 25 hours up at altitude (11,500 or 9,500) and burned about 4.5 gallons per hour at around 1400 degrees EGT.
What do the Jabiru engine experts suggest?
Thanks
Lynn
