C-182 carb-heat causing rough running.

No I don't have a Carb Temp gauge..............from that comment I am
assuming you think that it would be a wise desision?
On that note any recomendations as to what to get and how much to expect to
pay?

I'll bet you are running unusually rich for whatever reason - even
with carb heat off.

To start off with though, the mixture distribution in carburated
O-470s is poor.


Whenever you pull carb heat on, the mixture gets really rich. You
can get most of the power back by re-leaning.

The distribution in O-470s can be fixed by running the carb heat such
that the carb air temperature is 10C. They will smooth out and even
lean of peak operations can be done. Courtesy of the excellent Advanced
Pilot Seminar course.

You DO have a carb temp gauge on this ice maker don't you?

You can get an EI digital stand alone unit for a couple hundred. I have
mine as part of my engine analyzer.
