Thanks for the wisdom and insights @hindsight2020 @Dan Thomas @Let'sgoflying! I'm going investigate the baffling, mixture and timing theories with a couple of shops. I'll come back and report the outcome!

Yes, about 8.5 - 9.5 GPH when in 60% cruise. I see about 14.5 GPH on full throttle climb-out (when my CHTs hit the mid-400s). Does that (14.5) seem low for this engine? Thank you.

I do not. How is PowerFlow impacting your CHTs?

So, I bought a Piper PA-28-181 with an overhauled (complete) Lycoming O360-A4M back in December. The engine now has about 175 hours. I installed a JPI EDM 830 engine monitor back in June and I (and my local A&P) are perplexed by the indications. My CHTs rocket up to 360-370 just on taxi (mixture...

Yes, that is the case at all times, unfortunately.

Thank you, yes the mechanic said he checked both but I didn't get a second independent check of that assertion. He doesn't have the rigging equipment/jig but he said he tightened cables and aligned the nosewheel. I don't think his adjustments were thorough and completed with the 'book' open. I'm...

They appear to be level but I know appearance can be deceiving. I haven't had a real test for wings level... I suppose I'll need to have that done.

It's a 1979 Archer and the steering and rigging has not been independently verified. It has only been verified by my mechanic that I'm having the conversation with...

I hope this forum can settle an ongoing conversation with my A&P... I've owned an Archer for 3 months, and the rudder trim has to be adjusted all the way to the right (clockwise) in flight and on stands to make the rudder straight and the pedals aligned. I've asked, is this a rudder rigging...
