I still have a rich mixture problem. Its starting much easier now, and

running smooth, but still way too rich. Today I had the mixture knob against

the stop (lean) for the entire flight. Once I tried richening it a touch,

and the engine faultered immediately. The mode 3 (on the ground) adjustments

dont seem to make any difference. I wonder if I need smaller injectors or

lower fuel pressure (currently running about 45psi).

 

Thoughts anyone?

I'd find it very hard to believe the need for lower flow injectors for anything except idle.  Do the overall lean mode; and redo the MAP correction table.

 

Lot's of envy!
