Leaning Procedure for a Carbureted 182

Juan,

I made my point


You did? To my eye, it looks more like you said "I'm right, you're
not", started the insults when I didn't agree and now just plain leave.
To you, that may be "making a point", to me it is kindergarten. But,
suit yourself.

PS: Still waiting for data on that acid theory of yours.

Whose STC for the engine/prop upgrade? We just sold our 172F last week
with the original 0-300 on it...

Will pass the info on to the new owner if he's ever inclined to do so...

I have the Doyn Conversion. While Barbara Williams owns the STC, I found
very little support when I had a question. I would go with Air Plains in
Oklahoma for any conversions. I really like mine especially with the
constant speed prop.

The subject of this thread never left the issue of leaning carbureted
engines before you started talking about LOP leaning. LOP is only for some
fuel injected engines, and only those with very exact fuel metering and the
right hardware to monitor what's going on in each cylinder.

I'll repeat my quibble I previously mentioned on this thread...

If you said most carbureted engines can't run LOP, then I would agree.

However, the Continental E-225 (with a Bendix PS-5C carburetor) in my
Bonanza will run LOP. While not a 0-470, its a pretty durn close
(virtually the same displacement). I do have a JPI with fuel flow on
this installation and would be happy to send anybody a download of a
flight demostrating this.

Also LOP operations were the standard airline procedure with the large
radials in DC-4/DC-6 days. Those were decidedly carbed engines.
