Rich mixture

in General Tech Discussion 7 years ago
I have a 921 uls 400 hrs the engine was running rich when i purchased the plane i did 5yr rubber, rebuilt carbs metering rod set 2nd notch from bottom, new fuel pump, replaced radiator, installed soft start ugn. Lifter test ok, the plane is at sea level . After running engine i duscovered cyl 1,2,3 were still rich # 4 was running normal can bad coils be causing the problem?
Thanks Steve

    Hi Steve,
    Why do you think they are rich? Did you look at your plugs after idling?

    checked after 5 min of run up at 3500 rpm and after 3 hr flight further investigation it seems plugs will show a rich mixture unless the engine can be shutoff at cruse rpm good for dead stick practice. Guess i will leave it alone.
    Thanks Steve
