With all this recent talk of "flight adjustable" carbs, TBI, etc., is  

there anybody out there running their engines "lean-of-peak EGT"?

I have, and I'm pleasantly surprised at the results. If you haven't,  

you're in for a different style of flying, that could extend your  

engine's life and save fuel in the bargain. Read some articles about  

this phenomenon, try it, and see if it works for you. I've got over  

500 flying hours on my engine running LOP, and what they say is  

true....engine runs cleaner, cooler, and burns less fuel. You won't  

get there as fast as you used to, but who's counting time? : )
