I am the happy new owner of a 6A with an O-360 and a Sensenich fixed-pitch prop, Plasma-2/Slick + Ellison Throttle Body Injector. (I will miss the rotax engine on my flight design ctsw, which I will have to sell now.) of course, no FADEC.
I do understand the generic rule---once stabilized, lean as long as EGT is increasing and engine is not turning rough, then add to be a little richer so that it runs smooth and happy.
I want to understand the generic appropriate mixture response to varying conditions---not precisely quantitatively, but directionally. how should the optimal (better) mixture change (holding everything else constant) with:
* an increase in altitude and/or temp ?
* an increase in throttle (RPM) to speed up ?
* a decrease in throttle (RPM) to slow down ?
* climbing (with more throttle)?
* descending (with less throttle)?
any other condition changes that suggest themselves to a good "first automatic" response?
if someone can point me to figures that plot optimal mixture to conditions, I can read the first derivative off the graphs...
