| Subject: | Input on small Lycoming engine |
We would appreciate input from anyone on the following issues
The following questions are relevant to the small Lycomings, i.e., 0235,
0290, 0320. 0360 normally aspirated engines.
Please express; Benefits / Pro's / Con's
We're not righting a book or doing scientific research, just trying to
learn, take good care of our investment, and afford to fly in these times of
increasing costs; your input will be greatly appreciated.
1- Cleaning inside the cylinders with walnut shell grit, while still
installed on the engine, per S.I. No. 1418.
2- Use of the Champion REM37BY spark plugs for better lead scavenging while
using 100 LL, per S.I. No. 1042T.
3- Using " APPROVED ", Alcor TCP in the 100 LL fuel.
4- Using MMO in the 100 LL fuel. ( Yes we're aware that it isn't "APPROVED"
and none of you are doing this. )
5- Using auto fuel, per EAA or Peterson STC's.
A- Which do you like best, and why?
B- What " Brands " of fuel do you like best & why?
C- How do you deal with Alcohol blends?
D- Do "YOU " feel alcohol is detrimental to these engines?
E- Are you "leaning" as you should when using 100 LL?
6- Using MMO in auto fuel. ( Yes we know this isn't " APPROVED " either,
etc..)
7- Operating at higher RPM's during start-up/warm-up, taxing and shut-down,
per S.L. No. L192B.
8- Aggressively leaning mixture while using 100 LL per S.I. 1094D
I know there is a lot of us out here that are interested in hearing comments
to these questions; and there are many of you that are VERY KNOWLEDGABLE in
these issues; PLEASE share your experiences with us here on the "LIST", or
"OFF LINE" if you prefer, and help the rest of us to be able to fly a little
longer and affordable.

Sir I would switch the plugs and see if the drop goes to the other mag. If
it does,
it's a plug, if not it's the mag for sure. Just a positive way to place
blame.
