Well Guys,
I want to thank every one that has given suggestions. It has been
a real help and I did investigate every thought that was thrown out there
and some of them several times. I have found nothing to date that would
tell me why the engine quit. So I've decided to sell N357CJ to some poor
unsuspecting sucker-- No No - just kidding. I flew this morning for a
little over a half hour and I was not shy about putting it through her
paces. I ran at full throttle with it leaned out and I ran at partial
throttle settings. I dove , I climbed , I did hard turn reversals and
just all around had a blast with the roller coaster style flying .The
biggest change is the weather(humidity about 50% and 75 deg). I have
adjusted the carb richer and all the temps were great this morning as
well as exhaust temps. ( I now believe that exhaust temps on the ground
are not accurate) The head temps stayed within 15 deg. of each other and
the exhaust temps never got much more than 60 deg apart through the whole
range.
For now I'm calling N357CJ cured and fit for flight into sever
VFR conditions. I did one long speed run and calculated true airspeed It
worked out to 173.4 mph at full throttle. That put me closer to the west
coast than KRA or KRB-(right Jonesy)
Any way thanks all again and if you can't tell I am pretty happy
again
Thanks, Joe Horton
