Default IO-540 mystery

check the idle mixture. the lycoming manual will detail the procedure. the
left engine on my twin does that when the idle mix is not set properly.

full rich and hot temps, sounds like the problem.

Idle mixture????


When it happened to me, I was rolling out after landing, so the mixture
was full rich.

Windows gives you a nice view of clouds so you can't see any potentially
useful boot time messages.
