Then about two hours into the flight, there was a slight loss of power to around 4800rpm, but the EGT shot up to 1800 where I have the limit light set. I had the mixture set with 0-1 bar showing in the mixture meter. To lower the EGT, I made the mixture richer to 5-6 bars. and the temp came down but stayed around 1750 for the rest of the day. Any guesses? Thanks in advance! Tommy James<>< ------=_NextPart_000_00C8_01C411D6.CF7150C0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
