I read that, as a general rule of thumb, that you should see an approximately 200rpm rise and then a quick fall when bringing the mixture to idle-cutoff from 1,000rpm in a piston pounder. The mechanic says the TCM book quotes a 30-40rpm rise should be seen and that the mixture is set too rich. I think the mixture is set too lean because I'm not seeing the proper FF on takeoff without the boost pump. I'd prefer it to be on the rich side of things.
Is every engine very specific on this rpm rise or is it a pretty general setting to make that particular engine happy?
