<p>Hello Guys, </p>
<p></p>
<p>So yesterday I got to work on my 601HDS with What I believe to be a GEN 1 Jabiru 3300 engine, and as I was about to start my engine for the first time ever, I noticed fuel mixed with Oil coming out of my Air Filter Box, which after chasing, I noticed that it was coming from the Bing Carb.</p>

<p>Hello Guys, </p>
<p></p>
<p>So yesterday I got to work on my 601HDS with What I believe to be a GEN 1 Jabiru 3300 engine, and as I was about to start my engine for the first time ever, I noticed fuel mixed with Oil coming out of my Air Filter Box, which after chasing, I noticed that it was coming from the Bing Carb.</p>
<p></p>
<p>As previously mentioned I purchased this Aircraft at about 90% completion, and it had been in the process of building for at least 20 years prior to me buying it. With that being said, about 1 month ago, I put about 1 cap of Mystery Oil in each cylinder to help loosen things a bit since the brand new engine had never been started. Yesterday I added 1 more cap of Mystery Oil to each cylinder again before turning the prop by hand, and everything looked to be smooth. <br/><br/></p>
<p>I took the plane outside the hangar, and fed some fuel in it, and that’s when I noticed the Fuel and the Mystery Oil Leaking from the bottom of the Bing Carb.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I believe the leaking issue might be a simple cracked/dried old gasket, but my biggest concern is still the presence of the Mystery oil in the Carb. <br/><br/></p>
<p>I took the Carb out, and inspected it, and it looks good to me, but again, it’s new, so not sure what’s going on. I might have to have it re-built. <br/><br/></p>
<p>Thanks in advance for your help!</p>

<p>Hello All,</p>

<p>Please see pictures attached for reference. <br/><br/></p>

<p>Adel Bazzi </p> What does "MWO" on a factory pick list mean?tag:zenith.aero,2024-03-21:2606393:Topic:9270872024-03-21T17:41:17.852ZKen Ryanhttps://zenith.aero/profile/KenRyan
<p>This should be a super easy thing to figure out... but web searches and even trying an AI assistant failed for me.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Zenith pick lists have rows that list a part, description, quantity, and then a space for checking off whether it was shipped or not -- but some of those "Shipped" spaces state "MWO".</p>

<p>And you happen to be there, please ask if their support for the iFly 740 series is soon to be discontinued. Just a premonition I have based upon their emailer sent out today offering current 740/740b owners a trade in credit for their EFB tablet. Hopefully they will support the 740 devices for years to come.</p>

<p></p>
<p>Measures: tach, 2 EGT, 2 CHT, oil pressure, oil temperature, coolant temperature, bus voltage, fuel flow (& totalizer), fuel pressure.</p>
