Product Details
The cold cylinder check determines the operating characteristics of each cylinder of an air-cooled engine. The tendency for any cylinder, or cylinders, to be cold, or to be only slightly warm, indicates lack of combustion or incomplete combustion within the cylinder. This must be corrected if best operation and power conditions are to be obtained. The cold cylinder check is made with a cold cylinder indicator.
Engine difficulties that can be analyzed by use of the cold cylinder indicator are [Figure 1]:
Rough engine operation
Excessive rpm drop during the ignition system check
High manifold pressure for a given engine rpm during the ground check when the propeller is in the full low pitch position
Faulty mixture ratios caused by improper valve clearance
