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.

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.
