| Subject: | Housai EGT Probe Placement |
After guessing what mixture setting to run for years, I have decided it's time
to fit an EGT so I have a better idea of what is going on when it comes to leaning
the mixture. Up until now I have been leaning it out until the engine starts
running rough and then richen it until it runs smooth and then richen it a
little more. I know it's hit and miss and it has always left me feeling nervous.
The unit I have bought is a digital unit with a single probe and I am not sure
where the optimum location to place it is so I thought I'd put it up here to ask
those who have already done the trial and error so I can place it where it
will be best suited.
Thanks, Lance

Am I correct in assuming from your post that the forward (lean) mixture stop
has been cut off your throttle handle??
Or has the mixture system been modified (Americanized) to a rich forward
system?
With the original British system in place there is really no need for an EGT
guage. In any case the the installation instructions should include a
specific
dimension from the probe to the cylinder.

Thanks for the reply Walt. Yes, my aircraft is in std form with the levers as original
and the Mx lever has the pull back lug still fitted. The Mx lever is placarded
with the locations corresponding to altitude.
As you know when at FTH and the throttle lever is full forward, the mixture lever
can be moved full forward. FTH for my AC is around 4000' and it is possible
to over lean the mixture.
I am not looking for someone to teach me how to lean the engine, I want to find
out where on the Housai exhaust manifold (L or R) is the "Optimum" place to locate
the probe.....Something the installation manual will NOT cover.
Thanks
Lance
