I suspect the ususal suspects. A fowled spark plug being most
likely but could also be a clogged injector or air filter.

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!
Tommy
