My EGTs are running 1550 degrees since cold weather ( below freezing)has started. Should I step up main jet a size?

    We don't have all the info here, but you shouldn't need a new jet. First I'd check to see the slot the needle clip is in. It should be in #3  down from the top. If it's in #2 (leaner) then go to #3 (richer) clip position. If it's in the #3 position then try #4 position and then do a test run. The temp difference should be approximately 80F..

    hi Darryl

    The EGT in the operators manual lists max 1616 F.  This would be at your leanest operational area, normally in the 75% power range.  As Roger pointed out this is adjusted by the needle clip position and not the main jet for the most part.  Generally number 3 clip position is suitable for all weather conditions.  Be sure that you are not just getting a high resistance in the EGT sensor itself, verify that reading is accurate before chasing jet changes.

    Cheers

    Darryl...if you are unsure how to check your EGT this might help.  Found this online from Michigan Avionics. 

    Cheers
