Hi Guys,
Today, While cruising at 5500' and 5000rpm, the EGT was reading around 1675.   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!
