Hello all,
I'm a new owner of a RV-6A and also a 1st time aircraft owner, so I've MUCH to learn!
I was base-lining engine performance on my bird w/ a Superior O-360 w/ 300hrs snew, carburated. Consistently, cylinders #1 & #2 running EGTs that are 120-150deg hotter than the back two. The CHTs are only slightly hotter.. only a 20-30deg spread between hottest and coldest.
Also, the front 2 EGTs are within 25-50deg of eachother and back two are about 20 apart.
Is this normal for a carbed engine? None of my rentals ever had this kind of instrumentation, so it's new to me I just don't like seeing #1 leaned out to 1430 while #3 is at 1290...
thanks,
Brian
