Hi guys..on the last few flights I have made with my 503dcdi powered trike my PTO EGT has indicated a much lower temp than the Mag end EGT,
Ind 500c 930f with the other cylinder at 600c 1110f at cruise RPM with a corresponding reading at lower RPMs,
Although 5 to 10 mins into flight both EGT needles are reading exactly the same at about 600c 1110f and then stay that way,
The duel CHT read the same all the time and the engine is as sweet as a nut with no ill effects...I'm wondering if the sender units can become a bit lazy ????
The engine and carb set-up are both only 18 mths old with around 25 hours on the clock...the carbs where balanced about 10 hours ago,
As I say after 5 mins or so its all ok temp wise and stays that way till the next flight,
During flight I have tried quickly opening and closing the choke to see if that makes any difference...it doesn't,
Nick.
