At full throttle on a 4stroke including the HKS, you have very little pulse in the intake.You should use an electric pump any time you go to full throttle.Solve the boot problems with the JBM boots.                                                                                                                                                                     auxilery--

Hi,

 

Boyd,The last time I flew I was doing 5750 rpm's oil temps were 157 and CHT 

was 329 degrees.



  
	


Larry,



Are you monitoring EGTs?

Larry - 1180 EGT and 330- CHT.

          - you could take a little pitch out and get your egt up a bit and cht down abit.  I'd guess you could get to 1280 and 300. ( a bit better ?)

cheers, Rob

I had the prop relaxed enough that I would go over the  6200 on take off, and noticed no improvement. I since added one degree of pitch  to the blades, I may relax it about a half degree, but I really don't expect it  to help. I intend to check the clips and see if a bit more fuel will help the  problem. I do not currently have a problem since the OAT is colder than a well  diggers butt, however the temps will not stay that way. Its going to get hot  sometime.

Larry, Rob, This is a 4 stroke engine so the 2 stroke rules about prop setting do not apply. You can set the prop to get 6200 in climb and overspeed in level flight to maximize climb performance or set the prop for 5600 in climb and then run all day long at 5800 in level flight for max cruise performance, it will have very little difference on CHT and EGT readings. I've done both after talking about prop setting with Sean at Hpower. Larry, after looking at the readings on your EIS I'd definitely recommend raising the jet needles. The factory is now recommending running them at their highest setting, i.e. clip in the lowest slot to protect the exhaust valve guides. 

 If you take another screen shot of the EIS go to the next screen where it will display both cylinders CHT and EGT readings. That's where I fly all the time so I know exactly what both cylinders are doing. Just a thought.

PS Larry, if you've never worked on the Bing 64 be sure and take note of the locating tang on the  bottom of the carb diaphragm that fits in a little pit in the carb body. I caught it when I did the second carb so I fixed it on the first before I flew with it. Get them misaligned and you'll be chasing a ghost trying to figure out why you richened the midrange mix and it's still running high CHT's.

Guest - interesting that you say that prop pitch has no effect on cht and egt.  When I set up my prop on my hks I found that my prop pitch had a direct influence on cht and egt.  Too little pitch equaled high egt's and low cht's and vice versa.  It was a very fine line to get it right.

Could be the effect of different aircraft and props. I already had a climb rate like a home sick angel and wanted batter cruise performance, which is why I checked with Sean at Hpower.I run a 68" 4 blade Powerfin with F style blades. What prop do you run?
