There's two reasons not to go to full rich for landing. For me the most
important is density altitude. I live at 3650 msl and see lots of
flatlanders land full rich on a 90 degree day and have the engine quit on
rollout. Running full rich in these situations is just ****ing power away
when you need it. The second reason is fouling the plugs.

Quite!

I'm learning to hate sites like this. I'm logged in via another route,
but it's not smart enough to know that when I follow this link.
