Q

What is detonation? What are some common causes of it? What should you do if it happens?

A

The fuel/air mixture is exploding rather than a controlled burn. It can lead to overheating, roughness, or cylinder failure.

Caused by: using a lower fuel grade, using an excessively lean mixture, steep climbs with insufficient cooling.

Do: enrich the mixture, shallow climbs.
