Exhaust Gas Temperature Gauge An optional Exhaust Gas Temperature Gauge can be fitted. The probe should be positioned 100mm from the port flange on the exhaust pipe of a convenient cylinder. Jabiru Part No. PI0325N is the recommended gauge. Dated : March 2006...
10.1 Alternator The alternator fitted to the Jabiru 2200 engine is a single phase, permanently excited with a regulator. The rotor is mounted on the flywheel with the stator mounted on the alternator mount plate at the back of the engine. The alternator mount plate is also the mount for the ignition coils and the vacuum pump.

11.4.1 Carburettor Tuning Late in 2004 Jabiru Aircraft introduced a new system of needles and jets to the 2200 engine. The new configuration lowers fuel consumption and is now standard. Details of the configuration are given below:...
Jabiru Needle P/No. 4A138A0D Needle Note that the needle used is a proprietary item developed by Jabiru specifically for use on the 2200 engine. From S/N 2161 main jet 225 needle jet 280. Engine tuning may be significantly affected by extreme ranges of climate or propellers which incur RPM values outside suggested figures (Appendix C).
Jabiru Aircraft Pty Ptd Installation Manual Jabiru 2200 Aircraft Engine 12 Air Intake System 12.1 SCAT HOSE Remove at each 50 hourly inspection one end of each scat hose. Inspect for holes, leaks and condition of helical wound in a wire former. Replace if any signs of corrosion is evident.
• Back pressure at Takeoff Performance – Max 0.2 bar (2.9 psi). Readings taken 70mm from muffler flange connections. Only complete mufflers supplied with Jabiru Aircraft are welded – all others require tail pipes to be TIG welded to the muffler body. NOTE: Drilled ends of pipes go inside muffler cavity.
• The dipstick cap must be screwed fully in before removal for reading oil level. • An oil cooler adapter is supplied with the engine and is fitted under the oil filter. • Oil coolers are available from Jabiru Aircraft. • Unless operating in environments of low temperatures, oil coolers are mandatory.
• Do not cruise or climb in the range 2100rpm – 2400rpm. • Maximum moment of inertia 0.25 kgm2 Applications outside this range should be referred to Jabiru. Engine MUST NEVER BE RUN WITHOUT THE PROPELLER. Damage will occur in this state.
Jabiru Aircraft Pty Ptd Installation Manual Jabiru 2200 Aircraft Engine 16 Auxiliary Units 16.1 Vacuum Pump For the installation of an artificial horizon and/or a direction gyro a vacuum pump is necessary. A Tempest 212CW (or equivalent) vacuum pump can be fitted to the alternator mounting plate and directly coupled to the crankshaft.
Nippon Denso type, P/No. 4933023. The following optional equipment may be driven by or fitted to the engine subject to the type number being included in the approved Jabiru Aircraft Pty Ltd engine specification:- Vacuum Pump Tempest 212CW (or equivalent) vacuum pump fitted to the alternator mounting plate and directly coupled to the crankshaft.
