Neil,
Are both the intake and exhaust P ported?
How did you do it? How did you block off the side irons? I doubt
there is anything wrong with our timing or advance. I have a stock Renesis
and I get EGTs from 1725 to the middle 1800s.
How close to the engine are your probes?
Bill

with 76 X 88 prop
I have a P ported renesis and am seeing EGT up to 1850. Having talked
with various people with far more knowledge than myself, who suggest it may be
that the spark should be advanced up to around 30 BTDC. to reduce the EGT.
Rather than destroy the motor finding out, I am looking at getting the engine
onto a dyno to clarify the timing and EGT’s. Should be very
interesting to say the least. No one works here until the first half of
Jan has passed in this banana republic of OZ.

I've had server issues this week and
could not send this until today.
I actually have the RD1-C PSRU. (My Bad.)
Tracy started
selling these about 6-7 years ago for use with the Renesis.
The prop turns clockwise from the pilot's
seat view.
I normally see EGT's in the high 1750 F.
during full power takeoff and early climb. It will go above 1800 F. if the
mixture is real close to best power. I have my EM-2 set to warn me if the EGTs
go above 1800.
