Greg,

That should be thanks Kelly.  I sent a message just before I saw this
one from Kelly. :)

It is the fastest way to educate yourself on the effects of mixture on performance, fuel burn, EGT curve, etc.  You can't hurt a normally aspirated 13B with mixture (assuming ignition timing in the ballpark) so there's nothing to loose either.

Alt 8500 ft, 40 Oat, No idea about manifold pressure.  Mixture set at mid range, but not really looked at.  We have had a lot of weather here the last few days, but is looking better toward the end of the week.  I got the diagram and printed it and realize it is a fix, not a solution.  I'll get to the airport tomorrow and draw a diagram of my electrical system, with lengths, positioning, etc. I've never tried running without the main buss off.  I'll run it and see if there is a differance with only the Essential buss on.  Thanks for all the thoughts, all of you.
