I noted that while airborne. It made no sense to me, but each time I tried to lean to 9.2 GPH like I had used on the trip 3 days before (same power setting) the engine began to stumble and lose power. To run smooth I had to bump the FF back up to 10.3. Didn't make sense to me but I didn't have time to analyze it at the time. I'll gather some more cruise number for comparison.

Are you sure? 2000 ft higher would not explain this. Maybe mixture distribution problems? ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 06:40:01 AM PST US From: Speedy11@aol.com Subject: RV8-List: Re: "Worn Out" CT-Q67 Cable Assembly (Warning!) Good info, Matt. My prop control has been getting stiffer. I'll check it out. Stan In a message dated 4/18/2011 3:05:24 A.M.

Not a big deal on the Prop control, but on a throttle or mixture it could be a serious concern. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message rv8-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/RV8-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/rv8-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/rv8-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
