Not likely, the temp sensor makes the mixture go leaner at high temps, not richer.  But remember there is no coolant temp sensor in the EC2 so as the engine warms up it is normal to need a slight leaning of the mixture control as the engine warms up.

Something is making the mixture run rich as the water temperature reaches 195 after I ran the engine tonight about 20 minutes at 1800 rpm.  Could it have something to do with the temp sensor in the inlet air that is happening with the cowling on.  It doesn't do it with the cowling off.  Tomorrow I'll look at getting a digital thermometer at Radio Shack to tape to the fuel pump outlet.  Will flying help the airflow though the cowling to help cool things better.  JohnD
