As Willie states, the CHT really isn't the correct gauge to use for leaning.
It's too slow and has too many other players to give a good reflection of
mixture. My Tomahawk has neither CHT or EGT. I lean for best power/RPM until
I see a slight drop in RPM, then go back in until the RPMs peak.
Hi Jack
Are you sure about that? Normaly that is the way the EGT is marked. The
Cyliderhead temp will not help for mixture settings.
There are no colored markings
on the CHT.

Hi Mark
It was nice meeting you and others at Oshkosh!
I flew a C150 once that did not have an EGT meter. every 1000vt I pulled the
mixture back slowly until the engine started running rough, then pushed the
throttle back just 6mm. On my Cessna 182 I find it difficult to see where

EGT temps really aren't important unless you are worrying about melting
down your exhaust pipes. They vary depending on altitude, mixture, RPM,
and engine. The actual number isn't important, but is typically used
only to measure the current EGT reading vs Peak EGT reading. That's why
