| Subject: | Lycoming carb question. |
I have an 0-320 E2D in my RV9A and have fighting high CHT's. The engine
monitors suggest that the engine is running too lean, therefore contributing
to
the high CHT and exhaust temps. I learned yesterday that lycoming
apparently makes 2 different carbs for this engine. One runs leaner/richer than
the
other. One of the guys in my EAA chapter said that he had the same problem
with his 0-320 until he changed to a richer running carb and now has no
problems.
Can anyone tell me which carb for the 0-320 is the one that runs rich?
Thank you.

Also block one end of upper cowl ramps, I just fiberglassed over the
inboard sides of mine and flew it once. It does seem that my temps are
some what lower.
