  1. That sounds almost exactly like what I'm seeing. If it keeps doing it I'll have them replace the probe. No idea how old the one in there is.
  2. Thanks for all the suggestions. I went to try and pull the data from the 800, but I apparently have an older one and couldn't find a usb anywhere. Good news is plane is going in the shop next week and one of the upgrades is replacing the 800 with an 830 (along with a pair of gi275s to replace the ai / hsi). JL, the v clamp comment was interesting. They replaced this during my annual in November. I pushed on the exhaust but couldn't feel or see any movement, I'll keep an eye on that. once the plane comes out of the shop, I'll try to get some followup data and see if it's still happening. Thanks! Joe
  3. I have a jpi 800, I'll try to go out and see if I can download the info later today. To answer the other questions: No noticeable rise in other egts, but only going by the bars here, I didn't cycle through each as I was watching the tit / ff part of the edm at the time. ff is steady (within +- .1 gph), no noticeable change in mp. Thanks, Joe
  4. Had a couple of times with something strange with TIT at cruise that has me confused, looking to see if anyone else has seen this. Level at cruise, usually for more than 1/2 hour or so. about 2500 rpm, 32" MP, 9.5-10 gph lop. TIT between 1575 and 1585, steady. Then the tit starts to climb slowly with no changes towards 1600. Try to lean a little more causes it to climb, richening causes it reduce, then climb toward the peak. All chts 350 or lower and not climbing. Usually after it goes through 1600, I'll go rop, let it cool back down and then relean and usually it doesn't occur again. Thoughts? Joe
  5. During my annual this year, AGL Aviation noticed my rudder rigging was off and adjusted it. They're over in Morganton, NC a little ways from you, but I highly recommend.
  6. Thanks for the ideas, I've got a few things to try out. Funny enough, my tank is in a carry bag as well, I just never thought to put it over the seat (heh).
  7. So, I have portable oxygen tank on my 231. I just had the cylinder tested and filled, so should be good to go. My question is how to handle the turning off / on and regulating the flow in flight? It's zip tied behind the passenger seats, so I can't really reach it from the pilot's seat (or even the front pass without climbing in back). What do other people do? Should I relocate it? Run an extension from the tank to the regulator?
