I have over 300 hours in my RV-7A (XP IO-360 FI) and need some input.
During engine shutdown the engine shakes a bit more then I see other aircraft engines shake. If I start up the engine taxi a short distance to the fuel pumps and shut down the engine shake is minimal. But when the engine is hot after a flight, there is much more engine shake at shutdown.
I have tried to minimize the engine shake with different throttle settings, control sequences with the mixture at ICO but I haven't found a good combination that improves the shake that much.
What is your engine shutdown procedure that I might try to improve this situation?
Thanks,
