Here's some more. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Why are partial power takeoffs in piston airplanes extreamely bad? (even if you do have 15,000ft of runway)

What happens to the mixture when you add carb heat?

What indications should you see if your idle mixture is adjusted properly?

Where is the fuel mixed with the air in a typical fuel injected engine?

This one's a toughie! Some A&Ps might have to think a while. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
Your engine isn't producing full power, vibrations have increased, fuel flow is higher than normal, one cylinder hits peak EGT well before the others, what's wrong?
