Hi everyone, I have a fox4 with a 582 C 3:1 GSC 68" and at cruising RPM (5800-6000) EGT goes over 1200, any other rpm temp are 1100-1150. Ground static 6200. Changed pitch to ground static 5900-6000.....same problem. New needle 11G2,Change needle clip to last notch.....same problem. Anybody had that problem before? Any idea or suggestion to what to look for?? I wonder if a different prop would do the same thing? I'm thinking of trying a warpdrive or IVO ultralight prop Cheers Richard ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 02:13:04 PM PST US From: Marco Menezes Subject: Re: Kitfox-List: Need help with EGT problem! Richard, - Check Mike Stratman's artices on CPS website--http://www.800-airwolf.co m/articles.htm- He does a great job of explaning the interelation between prop pitch, RPMs, EGTs-and jetting of the Bing carbs. Seems I recall that high RPM setting s are controlled by the main jets. Your corrections to the jet needles woul d affect-EGTs at mid-range RPMs. You might need-the next richer main je ts to get those numbers down. - Marco Menezes N99KX Model 2 582-90 C-Box 3:1 w/clutch Hersey, MI - - --- On Thu, 8/12/10, rical wrote: From: rical Subject: Kitfox-List: Need help with EGT problem!
