Flying on my normal commute today in my carb’d O-360 RV-8 with 2xPmags, everything running smooth per normal until I began a descent and pulled power. I first noticed a little vibration and then saw that the #2 cylinder was very cool, EGT and CHT falling off. Playing around with it a little on descent right around 2,300 RPM would be the cutoff RPM: above that it would come back on and engine would run smooth. Below that it would fall off again and the slight vibration would come back. Pulling the mixture back (still in the normal running regime) would induce a similar effect. Cycling the the ignitions didn’t have any effect other than the normal drop in RPM while on one ignition only. On deck at idle, running a little rough and #2 definitely not firing. Of note, not sure if it’s related, when I went to shut off the motor on deck it took a little longer to come to a stop than it normally does (as if I was shutting it down via ignition vice the key).
Any ideas??
Thanks all!
