Hey all,
I've just begun to have 1450+ EGT readings on all cylinders, while the CHT's remain below 390 degrees. No attempt to richen things up (carb heat for example) improves things. I took off the cowl and see no exterior signs of trouble, removed spark plugs and they are nice and tan and even wet from running too rich. I tried a brief flight and all was normal, then on the next long leg they did it again. I recycled the Grand Rapids EIS and then only one cylinder persisted in giving me this reading. Am I right to assume it is an indicator/gauge issue or am I missing something more ominous?
Thanks in advance for your ideas.
