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: _____°

*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.
