Hi All, I have a j430 with a fuel injected caMit3300 engine. Recently doing circuit training and after 6-7 uneventful circuits. After touch down, I reset flaps and accelerated to take off again. When throttle was about 90-95% pushed in the engine missed and lost power. Immediately I reduced throttle and landed on remaining runway. I went back to run ups and the engine ran fine up until about 2500rpm where I'd died again. A person watching said that when it missed there was black smoke out the exhaust suggesting fuel flooding. Further info: engine had 130 hours. We had done 4 normal circuits 2 glide approaches and 2 flappless in that order before problem developed. Any help would be appreciated.

 

TIA

I'd suggest you contact Jabiru as a matter of urgency about your problem.

"fuel injected" - I know who I would be contacting first, the manufacturer of the fuel injection system.

The problem is most likely that the simple reliable carbureter has been replaced with a back yard fuel injection system.

 

Sorry if this offends anyone.

If you have intermittent ignition failure the same effect can be caused. It's not particularly likely but still a possibility. If it's throttle body injection it could even be icing.. Don't fly it till you have it sorted. Nev

Hi Memphis

 

Welcome to the site. Is your aircraft really fuel injected or does it have a pressure carbureter?
