George,
A friend of mine is flying his Kitfox with a Jabiru 2200. He had some trouble with his carburetor leaking and took it to the FBO. The guy looked at it and told him they used to run the Bing carburetor on motorcyles years ago and now throw them in the scrap pile. I think the Jab is a great engine, however, EFI would make it sing like your Suzuki.
Ben

Tracy,
I must be missing a point somewhere, or we have crossed wires, as I haven't mentioned the combustion chamber. My only concern is high pressure fuel leak in flight. Don't get me wrong I like fuel injection because of the control over injection volume and performance. I only wish there was high pressure at the point of injection - only.
 
I have fuel injection on my Suzuki 1800 Motorbike and it's great, but I would hate to have to work on it, like I did on the old carbied bike.
 
I've noticed the Jabiru are running a very simple system. Their using a Honda ignition module with an altitude compensating carby - not that the system is perfect either.
