I read through this and I have a few thoughts/considerations: Good luck! Robert, 1) I've had two air filter configurations. One directly attached and one with the elbow. The only reason I swapped was because I didn't have the K&N RC-1980 safetied. It fell off and melted on the exhaust. It is no...
You need to get a good reading on the CHT. That's all the matters, really. If the CHT is in line with the others, and within the proper range, then there is likely nothing wrong with the cylinder, so it would be a sensor or display issue with the EGT. My CHTs have never been matched, or particularl...
When I did the cold air intake on the R2300 using a Rotec MKII carb, Rotec cautioned about elbos near the carb. There were none but but I did go ahead and make a flow straightener to dampen any intake air swirl. Perhaps something like this might be helpful. So here is my shot at it. I figure my fre...

I'll continue to tune and will go to #2 needle if I can't get there. N153TD First Flight.png So you have the #2.5? I would really recommend the #2. My first c...

If it isn't leaned, it stumbles as it accelerates. I've only flown 1. We have a #2 needle. My AeroVee runs g...
