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.

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.

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.

Congratulations! Please send us a picture of the whole plane.
