Not real well. Once you get lean of peak, the engine gets real sensitive to the mixture. Very slight adjustments make for very large rpm changes. It doesn't shudder so much as just die. My experience with sensitivity is the same as yours. The hardest part of setting power with mixture only is that the mixture is at least an order of magnitude more sensitive than the throttle -- there's only a tiny range of movement between full power and cutoff. I generally take the throttle friction lock off while very gently nudging the mixture lever, then put it back on when I have the right setting. If it dies without much shuddering, then the distribution is probably pretty good, I'd guess (as a non-technician). All the best, David |
