Anyone,
Need some advice!
Engine is new for all practical purposes, 2:40 time on the ground, plane not yet flown.
Dual Bing 54 carbs, manually sync'd; Std complement of jets, needle jets, etc, per ROTAX; Jet needle at #2 position; Auto gas, 1:50 oil, Ultra-prop(three blade) with 12 deg. pitch plugs;
Engine inverted, Rotax diaphram fuel pump.
Mounted on a Hi-Max.
Location: Baton Rouge, LA. Currently Daytime temps 85-90 degF., elev. 39'
Concern: Engine runs cool, CHT 280-300 deg., EGT 800 +/-, idles at 2,050 - 2100rpm, full throttle max rpm 6120 - 6180, after 10 minutes.
Question: Are these temps and rpm's acceptable in a static situation? Will the rpm go up in flight to closer to or at 6500? Should an attempt be made to lean the engine to increase temps and rpm.
Thanks!
