Hey there all motor heads. So I had an issue with a 582 DCDI engine that while flying one cylinder quit. I know this because the EGT gauge went from operating temps right down to zero and then back up again. It did this a few times and eventually I landed in a field. I took the carbs off thinking it was over fueling on that one side. Nothing that I could see. Started right back up. The next day it acted up again for just a second and never again since. That was about 5 hours ago. I thought maybe it was some junk stuck in the float needle and that caused it to over fuel to cause the EGT drop. But now I'm thinking when it came back to power it was more like shutting the switch off and then back on. If it was over fuelling, then it should have still run at WOT... it didn't. The EGT on the dead side could have read zero because the piston was still pumping fuel. Im thinking spark now, but how on a dual ignition??? Mag checks are normal. Any ideas?
