I hope someone's run across this before and can lend some advice..
seems like my full-rich EGTs have been slowly climbing for the last couple weeks. Really caught my attention on the last flight when full rich at 2300rpms @3,000 density altitude was showing 1400deg. That's what I usually lean to, peak EGT is usually around 1500.
The old full-rich baseline seemed to have been 1320s before in this setup. The EGTs are even across all 4 cylinders. Fuel pressure hasn't changed. Turning on the boost pump doesn't change EGT at all. My trusty VM1000 seems to be running great. And yes, the peak EGT still shows 1500s, just don't have to lean very much to get there.
My best guess is a possible air leak at the carb???
