Mike,
What Ron said x 2. Water will clog that filter again in a hurry.
Put some HEET in there, the red bottle stuff, and top off with fresh gasoline.
With all of the assembly/disassemblyof pieces and parts, go over everything again that you took off and make sure it is torqued back to spec, and that you didn't forget anything.
If a clogged fuel filter made you run lean and hot the first time, I can't see how it would now restrict your RPM, and give you cool egt's now.
Anyway, good luck to you, Michael - check everything you touched from top to bottom.
Oh by the way, check the thread by the FAA (on the forum) about carb ice. Can happen in a venturi carburetor at 80 degrees, especially if humidity is high.
Oh yeah - good response on the engine malfunction - much better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air than vice versa.
Also, there are so few of us with tractor gyros that we have to keep them flying!!!!
