REFLECTOR: Franklin EGT

[John Tvedte]

John,

Since you seem to have one that is higher than the others.  I would suggest you temp. move the sensor – and compare.  Does the higher reading move with the sensor?

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
