Hight EGTs??

Hi Guys.

I have a new Aerosport Power 0-320, carb, and a 3 blade Catto Prop.
TT on engine is 120 hours.

In the past 20 hours I have noticed that during climb and very high power settings that the EGTs on cyls 3 and 4 go quickly past 1500, and have been as high as 1575.

I have searched other posts, and an induction leak causing mixture leaning seems to be the mail suspect issue here.

My questions are:
1. how do you check for an induction leak?
2. what are the main areas to check?

Thanks,

Call Bart

Hi Tom,

I would suggest giving Bart a call at Aerosport. This condition has been seen before and may involve opening up (enrichening) the main jet a bit. Also have the P/N# off of the carb available when you call.
Good luck!
 
I had a problem with high CHTs during climb. I returned my carb to Bart and he re-jetted it and flow-tested it, no charge.
