Subject: | rotating the carb |
A few weeks ago I asked which way to rotate the carb to possibly even
out the egt's. It works. I now have the cht's within 30 degrees of each
other and the egt's within 45 degrees of each other. I also noted that
after about 30 minutes at cruse they are almost even. Tex

Subject: | Re: rotating the carb |
Gary, It is possible to rotate the carb a few degrees on its mount by
loosing the strap which holds it to the engine. By turning the bottom of
the carb towards the lean side of the engine ( indicated by the EGT
temps on that side) will slightly richen the mixture being drawn thru
the Ventura to that side of the intake manifold. Fuel enters the system
from a port in the bottom of the carb. This is only a slight difference
but can be helpful in obtaining a more even mixture for all cylinders. I
hope I have described this correctly, if not someone can chime in. Tex

I believe a new Lightning has parted ways with the earth. Reports are in
from the great white north, with the snow gone and the water going else
where that Bill Browns piloted his ship for a while last night from H&S
aviation in WI. I hope we get a bit of a pilot report from him soon.

Tex,
Sounds like your engine is doing great; I didn't realize that you
had flown already. Congratulations! Please send us a picture of the
whole plane.
