REFLECTOR: Franklin EGT

[Laurence Coen]

John,

That's only 1200F which is fine but we're still comparing that to an internal probe in the exhaust stream.  I don't know if that's valid or not.  Leaned in cruise I see about 1250F (677C).

What EGT temps are others with Franklins seeing when running LOP?  I used to see temps ranging from 450-550 C, but my sensors are strapped on the outside of the exhaust and I'm probably getting readings lower than actual.  I recently moved them the the cylinder exhaust tubes which is closer to the cylinders.  I expected to see higher readings, however the #6 EGT is running 580-650 C.  Is that too high?

John
