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,
Tom Sampson
