Unexpectedly HOT induction = air should not make the CHTS get hot enough to require a power reduction = when one is in icing conditions. George, We met at your shop where I put GAMI injectors on my 4-p. =20 I have often picked up ice on my piston 4p on climb out, full rich 31.5 = & 2500 (75%) and have the same experience, hot CHT's requiring reduced = power to keep temps in the green. Don't know what to say other than it = happened, every time I got into much ice. I enlarged the alt air inlet and went = to a K&N filter. That helped some, but did not eliminate the problem. I = think most of these guys must not fly that much IFR in ice. Gene Hughes in Montana does fly his 4p IFR frequently and has the same complaint. He = flies his 414 if he figures much ice is forecast. Larry Klaas 2625 NW Ordway Ave Bend, OR 97701-5497 Tel: 541-388-2420 Fax: 413-581-0178 Email: LDK@bendcable.com
