Need help learning when to use mixture.
I could of sworn Vic said in the EAA Webinar recently that right after startup he leans the engine. However, I was thinking that on the idle circuit of the carb the leaning doesn't really do anything. (I could be and probably am wrong)
Then I read the following:
"The mixture adjustment should not be used under 5000 feet."

While I am on a roll might as well ask one more question.
#1 cylinder EGT consistently runs 150 degrees cooler than the other 3. Generally is right at 1200 degrees and the others are near 1350. CHTs are all close to the same. Should I be concerned about the low EGT on #1 cylinder?
Thank you for the help.
