5 plus HP sounds like allot to loose becous of such a little adjustment to the elbow. That should effect gas consumption or change the power band or the echo back prechur and in turn accurate EGT readings. Mystatic rpm is 5800 and at climb out I get6200 at 55 mph and 6600 max rpm flat and level yet my egt,s are 1275 and the plugs are still very black and wet w/ penz oil 50 to one pre mix

and make sure the oil pump line up marks are correct. I leaned mine out just a tad and got better plug color and performance. I do the same on all my snowmachines as well. I measure the gas put in the tank, and the oil put in, then figure the ratio and get it to match as close to 50:1 as possible. I know the pump actually gives closer to 100:1 at idle, but 99% of the time the engine is running in the 50:1 range so I set the adjustment accordingly.

The elbow and Y pipe have been shorted about 2.5 " approx. That is a huge difference and I have proven it many times over.
Regardless, your problem is odd -- black plugs and EGT 1275f ?
something askew here. What have you done to make this happen lately? I have seen some adjust needles and put the needle on top off plastic clip and get a similar problem.
MAke sure your oil injection marks line up at IDLE ......... and the lever travels smoothly through out the throttle movement.
