I have ~300 hours on the engine. First flight was August 2010.
IO360M1B SilverHawk FI.
Saturday, cold, ~35 degrees, I took off and saw #1 and #3 EGT got higher than normal, ~1400 degrees. I checked to be full rich. Fuel pressure was normal and the boost pump was on. No big concern, but this is different. Fuel flow was 15-16 gph. As I leveled out all was normal. I have a standard Van's fuel installation. I do have the red cube between the fuel servo and the spider. Left impulse coupled mag, right Light speed plasma 3.
Thoughts, suggestions?
(I know, 35 degrees is not that cold, but for a south Alabama boy, this is also NOT normal)
AND another thing, yeah, yeah, yeah, probably over instrumented. But, I am and I do see it. And for all of those going to tell me to use the search engine, I did. Searched Silverhawk.
