This has happened at about 100 hour intervals on a 503 that works hard on a MK111c ----- Original Message ----- From: "n757jh" Sent: Friday, November 27, 2009 6:17 AM Subject: RotaxEngines-List: Re: 582 egt mismatch > > I think I've ruled out carbs as a cause by swapping carb bodies and > replacing the inline fuel filters yesterday.

Since the carbs are set up to make the engine run much richer at the idle the best thing to do is to have a look at the plugs with as little idling as possible after a flight.
