[C320-list] Auto-prop and Mixing Valve Elbow

[niedobre at aol.com]

Just had to replace my mixing valve elbow.? It was 75% clogged.? I showed it to the technician at the Yanmar dealer and he immediately said I was over pitched.? I did not tell him anything about having a prop other than standard,? The engine was running perfect for two weeks in the Abacos.? As we started to cross the Gulfstream to come home I could only get 2800 rpms.? Before the trip I had changed back to the original prop that would give me 3600 rpms.? It happened very suddenly.? My engine has 985 hours.? FYI.....
