At normal operating conditions, a Continental's cylinderhead temperature will be somewhere around 350F. At thosesame conditions, the EGT will be about 1000F HIGHER thanthe CHT. Which one will do a better job of carb heat?Quick... you need that heat and you need it right now, andyou only get one shot at it ;o) Especially if you run aStromberg like mine that makes ice like crazy.Oscar ZunigaAir Camper NX41CCSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net ________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Test-phase report, and mystery

The impulses may not be in perfect delay as the actual running timing, which shouldbe set per specs.Pieti LowellRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Thu, 19 Aug 2010 08:59:02 -0400 (EDT)

Need more information, Dan. Which mag impulse clicks over first?I seems to me (and I'm just thinking out loud here) that if one mag weretimed correctly and the other came in later, that would do little to boostpower and you would have a drop in RPM when switched to just the late mag.But if one were timed correctly and the other was timed too early, it wouldrun poorly on the early mag, and OK on the correct one. The only thing thatwould make it run better on one mag than on both would be if one mag was soearly that it was wasting some of the energy in firing very early and theengine ran better without it at all. But I can't think it would run well onthat mag alone.Are you sure your switch is wired correctly?Jack PhillipsNX899JPRaleigh, NC _____

That's why you always pull carb heat on while the engine is at cruise powerBEFORE reducing to idle. Let it warm the carburetor for a few secondsbefore reducing the throttle.Jack PhillipsNX899JPRaleigh, NC-----Original Message-----
