Fearless Tower
Touchdown! Greaser!
Did a round trip ORF-PHX last week in the Baron and started to experience what I believe was fouled plugs on the right engine. Basically every third leg, I would get an excessive mag drop on the right mag. Running it up to at least 2200 RPM and leaning it out for at least a minute cleared the problem....until it would reappear. Strange thing was that I was running LOP the whole time in cruise (confirmed by the EGTs and CHTs on all cylinders of the engine monitor).
Is spark plug fouling a common problem with
IO-470s? I am still relatively new to them, but I know that plug fouling is pretty common in the lower plugs of O-300s like my 170.
