CAUTION
When reducing power, the change in cylinder head

%
This is normally guaranteed by the 'self adapting inlet'. An
excessive cooling rate may occur however, when the engine
is very hot and the throttle is reduced abruptly in a fast
descent. This will be indicated by a flashing cylinder head
temperature indication.
CAUTION
Operation at high altitudes with the electrical fuel pump OFF
may cause vapor bubbles, resulting in intermittent low fuel
pressure indications, sometimes followed by high fuel flow
indications.
