My C-85 Stroker runs too lean in this colder weather, so that it stumbles terribly when advancing the throttle slowly on T&G's. I started leaving the carb heat on when advancing the throttle, and that helps, but very little. The Wag Cuby runs cold. I don't have CHT, it really takes a long climb just to get the oil temp to 150. Field temp was in the low 30's. I know that is common.
I see that a j-3 restrictor plate is available and commonly used for winter flying. My question is, is that only for 65 hp models? Will it make my stroker run too rich by having too much restriction for an engine pullng hp somewhere in the 90's? Can I lean the carb with mixture control the right amount to compensate?
Thanks for the advice in advance.
