Winter flying w/G-26

Increase the octane and raise the oil/gas ratio to 50:1. If you use Amsoil, run it 100:1. You might want to try a carburetor stack, too, to prevent the slipstream from siphoning fuel out of the carb throat. Dr.1 Driver "There's a Hun in the sun!"

carb icing maybe??? by the time you get it back on the ground, engine heat would probably melt any ice.

You might try going to the next range hotter spark plug. It might be that simple.

lean out the Low needle setting!

I know this is completely opposite from what another post says, but in my opinion, an engine will tend to lean out in the cold weather. Since the cold air is denser, this will cause the engine to run leaner. You will need to increase the fuel to the engine by making the mixture richer. I fly a robinhood with a G23 during the winter months, where the temperature is usually below freezing. I richen up the mixture a little in the winter, then lean it out a tad in the spring.
