I have an 0-320 E2D in my RV9A and have fighting high CHT's.  The  engine monitors suggest that the engine is running too lean,  therefore  contributing to the high CHT and exhaust temps.  I learned yesterday that  lycoming  apparently makes 2 different carbs for this engine.  One  runs leaner/richer than the other.  One of the guys in my EAA chapter said  that he had the same problem with his 0-320 until he changed to a richer running  carb and now has no problems.

  

 Can anyone tell me which carb for the 0-320 is the one that runs  rich?

  

 Thank you.

Also block one end of upper cowl ramps, I just fiberglassed over the inboard sides of mine and flew it once. It does seem that my temps are some what lower.
