TSIO 360 EB running lean at 12000
Hi all,
Yesterday I was flying on a Seneca II equipped with TSIO 360EB Teledyne Continental engines. The first flight (Dusseldorf-Milan) took 2 hours, FL 140, everything working perfectly adn according to the manual. The second flight (Milan-Rome) had the following inconvenience on BOTH engines: At FL 130 29" MAP 2400rpm the indicated fuel flow was 12 Gal/Hours but the Mixture control lever were in the "Full Rich" position. I could not move them to lean mixture since the fuel flow was going down to less than 12. The speed was correct (about 170 KTAS), and the engines were both a little bit too hot, but not that much. I repeat it was behaving like this for BOTH engines. And this sound strange and new to me.. I still have to fly again with the same plane, and it will be checked by a specialist before, but, is there anybody who has an idea about what was happening ? Silvio |
