 > does Mode 3 make any difference?   
It didnt seem to today, but I have seen an impact in the past. I've been using one click at a time based on the manual's statement that no-one has ever needed more than 4 clicks. Now I know it's a really fine adjustment I'll try hitting it a few more times. Does it need a long press, or is a "click" enough.

I wouldn't want you to loose sleep over it. Too many people want EM2s and redrives. :)
 
>Personally, I would not fly the plane until I could get proper mixture at nominal setting of mixture control   
I'd agree with that. I'll do some more experimenting and taxi testing. Failing that I might just fly the sucker up to Shady Bend and let you figure it out. :)
 
it sounds as if you guys have all been indoctrinated by Paul Lamar  
Nah. He was proved wrong on the EWP, so I set out to prove him wrong on the NACA. Looks like I did.
 
What puzzels me is that these are the stock injectors for the engine. Why would they be too big?
