White soot on exhaust
While taking my new to me'62 Cessna 172 with an O-300 (with about 75
hours on it SMOH with Millenium cylinders), I decided to start leaning as I should on my last flight. During the next preflight I noticed a whitish soot around the exhaust and on the cowl just adjacent to the stack during the preflight. Looking up on r.a.o for "white exhaust soot" I came across posts from several years ago about the white soot being a side effect of leaning. Does this sound right? Am I leaning too much? (I'm still trying to figure out the lean and rich of peak thing, especially for this particular airplane that I have about 18 hours in). Thanks, Ryan Wubben Madison, WI |
