rxo188 Posted November 19, 2017 Report Posted November 19, 2017 In my case it was the gauge. At first the needle lagged with advances in power from idle, and then the lag got longer, to the point that I could hear it at full power pitch and a few seconds later the needle caught up to max RPM. And then the needle wouldn't go over 2000 with full power. This happened over about 5 flights and 2 weeks. Had the gauge replaced and it works normally. At the time of replacement the gauge had about 3500 since new and about 600SMOH.
Piloto Posted November 20, 2017 Report Posted November 20, 2017 Check the magneto timing for 25deg. A retarded magneto will drop power down. At every annual check mag timing and holding nuts.
