This was the area where most all of the Kitfoxes camp every year. Then there was Rex Phelps and another 'fox from Michigan (can't recall his name) in their usual spot right next to the Homebuilders Headquarters, and of course the absolutely gorgeous new Rotec-radial-powered Super Sport flown to the show by Debra and John, and two others as I recall. I'm sure I missed a few. Oh, yeah, and a Kitfox on floats near the Kitfox display.

Seems I recall that high RPM settings are controlled by the main jets. Your corrections to the jet needles would affect EGTs at mid-range RPMs. You might need the next richer main jets to get those numbers down. > > Marco Menezes N99KX > Model 2 582-90 C-Box 3:1 w/clutch > Hersey, MI > I have the Arctic Sparrow in flight adjustable needles in my plane. The needles definitely will control the 5800 to 6000 RPM range for EGT temps. With the IVO 72" 3 blade set for 6500 RPM straight and level flight and 165 main jets at sea level I get EGT's around 1100 to 1120. When I pull the power back to 5800 for cruise I can tweak the EGT's up or down a couple hundred degrees with the needles. One turn is about the same as moving the clip one notch and will give about a 50 degree difference in EGT and about a .2 to .3 GPH fuel burn change. What main jets are you running, and what are your RPM and EGT at WOT straight and level? -------- DO NOT ARCHIVE Leonard Perry aka SNAKE Soldotna AK Avid "C" / Mk IV 582 (147 hrs and counting on the rebuild) IVO IFA Full Lotus 1450 #1 snake oil salesman since 1-22-2009 I would rather die trying to live, than to live trying not to die....

Do you install a new throttle cable with the TBI and if so what part # did you use? You may have noted that my plane got a Bronze Lindy for Champion Home Built.
