Hello all,
Just installed 2xPMAGs last weekend. O-360 fixed pitch. Install went fine, and the motor starts instantly. Idle runs very smooth. CHTs on 3/4 are now much higher which I will attack in a different thread after reading older posts. What I did notice is an overall increase in RPM at the normal throttle positions with my fixed pitch prop. I was hitting 2600 rpm level with half throttle deflection at 1,000ft, and my ground idle is right around 850-900 which seems high. I’m thinking that I need to reduce this a bit. Any thoughts? How do I do that without cutting out top end throw deflection of full power? Is the adjustment made on the throttle side or on the carb side? What about mixture adjustment to go along with this?
Thanks for the input all!
