My TSIO 550E with MT 4 Blade had a very strange vibration after engine
overhaul that three prop balances didn't get rid of. One very knowledgeable guy
asked what prop I had and said that with the light wood blades it didn't have
roatating mass or flywheel effect and that he thought I had a plugged injector.
I had all the injectors pulled and inspected for dirt before cleaning. They
found a small restricting piece in the cylinder that I told him had a higher
than normal EGT. That fixed the vibration problem. Live and learn, even at my
age.
