Default RE: 100 degree heat and lean engines

I would doubt that the high outside temperatures really affected it that much. I would look more at a fuel delivery or mixture problem. Up here in SW Oklahoma we have tons of 100°+ days every summer and fly my planes with no problems at all. Just set them to run a little bit rich and you won't have any problems with the heat.
