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!
