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
on the rich side of the
estimated peak EGT on any
cylinder: _____°
1490
370
*For your first flight with the
EDM-760, use the method
shown below.
3 Wait one minute Let engine stabilize.
4 Tap the LF button

Start the LeanFind mode.
5 Slowly lean the mixture—
approx. 4°/second—while
observing the display. When
there is a 15°F rise in EGT,
LeanFind mode becomes
active.

Flashing cylinder number
indicates hottest cylinder and
that LeanFind mode is active.
6 Stop leaning when
a column begins flashing.
You will see PEAK EGT for
two seconds, followed by:

Flashing cylinder number &
column indicates leanest
cylinder. (SET means that
the peaked cylinder is “set”
into the display.) Due to
thermal inertia this will
usually be about 10°F lean of
peak.
7 If you hold LF, peak EGT will
be displayed while the LF
button is held down.

Captured peak EGT value is
displayed.
8 Slowly enrich the mixture. the
temperature will increase,
returning to peak.
Stop enriching at the desired
EGT.

*Here is how to determine the pre-lean value: while in cruise at under 65
percent power, choose any cylinder and lean that cylinder to peak EGT in
the Manual indexing mode or to engine roughness, whichever occurs first.
Note the peak, subtract 50° and write the resulting number in the space
provided in step 2.
