are you letting it idle with the fuel all the way on. If so that would make the egt's real low. And also milk the oil up. I ran the toilet for the first time last year. And never milked the oil up. Guessing by your EGT's at idle it sounds like you are idling at full fuel. Also I dont want to bash James Monroe, he does know his stuff. But he sold me to big of pump, then sold me all kinds of pills and nozzles to correct it, which it never did. So I called Ron's they agreed with me that the pump was to big, they told me to call James and tell him what we discussed and get him to swap my pump for no charge. Well he got ticked and refused to do that. So i called rons back and they swapped it free of charge. So I set it where they said to and picked up .2 and my EGT's were where they were supposed to be. So in my opinion Rons knows there stuff too. Dont put all your eggs in one basket with James
