EGT GEN 4

Have spent some time chasing an erratic egt gremlin.  First indication was a noticeably lower egt than any other cylinder - chts looked normal.  After a few more flights the egt started out low and on climbout went very high (1400+).  Exhaust pipe inspection looked same as the others.  Previous egt issues were fixed with a new sensor - all good.  Went through 3 sensors, swapped leads, replaced entire egt wire/connectors to the pin in the DB25 (dynon ems/hdx).  Dynon did an outstanding job…See More

Hi James,

Appreciate the community welcome though it's been a long time since you sent it. When I first joined I had my sights on a different 701 from the one I finally purchased in October. Just back from overseas so actually haven't flown it yet. At least it's at the Skagit airport, soon to have an annual. Once that's finished then Phil Cook will hopefully find some time to check me out in the next few months weather and schedules permitting. Take care, Kerry

Thank you James.  My Cruzer will have the 750 STOL standard wheels and no pants so wont be a fast Cruzer.  Its good to hear that you are very pleased with the choice!    I have two other Gen 4 3300 members that I have reached out to - one is Tom as you suggested.  Have you resolved cooling issues or still in the works?  I had thought (hoped?) the Gen 4 was past all that.  Thank you for the inputs.  Tim

Welcome to the hood. If you have not purchased the engine yet talk to me first.
