LeanFind Procedure—Step-by-Step
Procedure
Example
Comments
1
Establish cruise at approx.
65 to 75% power.
2
PRE-LEAN THE MIXTURE
TO 50°F ESTIMATED RICH
OF PEAK EGT ON ANY
CYLINDER: _____°

*For your
first flight
with the
EDM, use the method shown
below.
3
Wait one minute
Let engine stabilize.
4
Tap the LF button
LEAN
R
Start LeanFind. (Optionally to
change to “lean of peak”
method, hold both STEP and
LF simultaneously.)
5
Lean the mixture—approx.
10°/second—while observing
the display. When there is a
15°F rise in EGT, LeanFind
mode becomes active.

Flashing cylinder DOT
indicates hottest cylinder and
that LeanFind mode is active.
6
Stop leaning when
a column begins flashing.
You will see
LEANEST
for two
seconds, followed by:
I545
SET
or with
Fuel Flow
I545
I 2.4
Flashing cylinder dot &
column indicates leanest
cylinder. (SET means Set the
mixture.) Due to thermal
inertia this will usually be
about -15°F lean of peak.
7
If you hold LF, peak EGT will
be displayed while the LF
button is held down.
I560
PK
Captured peak EGT value is
displayed.
8
Slowly enrich the mixture. the
temperature will increase,
returning to peak.
Stop enriching at the desired
EGT.

If you have chosen the Lean
of Peak method, at step 5
continue leaning until the last
cylinder has peaked.

Only for GAMI injected
engines. When each cylinder
reaches peak, the cylinder
number will begin flashing.
