I want to drill and tap into the cast iron manifold about 1" away from the exhaust ports. My questions are: 1. Any draw backs? 2. Recommendations for probes that will stand up to the heat in this location and will work with the EM2. My engine starts instantly every time. At the beginning I kept the mixture knob to the center position. Any movement to the left and the engine would stumble. Now I'm noticing the knob is fully to the left and it is rich. Not too rich but more than before? I guess it is time to get into the programming stuff? I'm drawing big crowds at the airport with this engine. Today I had to put a yellow rope on the hangar doors so I can work. Handed chairs to the old timers, the youngins had standing room only :) Buly
