Subject: RV-List: 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.
