I went through a nightmare with gami on my matti tuck red gold lycoming
They had me send my spider out for calibration (any it was fine)

I was glad to find Don Rivera

you know it is that injector. If #2 remains lean then either one of the lifters
on that cylinder is not operating to spec, or there is an air leak somewhere.

I ordered 2 restrictors from Airflow that were 0.005 lower flow size, which got
me within the desired 0.5 gph from richest to leanest peak. All of my EGTs
run very close now, although I still get a very minor roughness when I go LOP.
I have thought about trying on notch leaner yet on those two cylinders, new spark
plugs and possibly an electronic replacement for one of my mags.

I have duel Emag 2006X electronic ignitions. With the hotter spark the engin
