The engine had been starting and idling rough the last couple of times so I replaced the spark plugs due to initial rough idling. The old ones did show some wear and abuse from running rich.
The castoring nose wheel pivot had been chattering when rotating despite previously soaking the bronze washer in hot oil. A recent tip was to use silver thread antisieze. I had nickel so used that and set the preload to the low end.
The #3 & 4 cylinders were still the hottest so I tweaked the lower baffle ramps a bit to steal more air from #1 & #2 cylinders.
Despite applying a coat of wax earlier this week, flies were still leaving marks. At least they wiped off easier now. I put another coat of wax on. There's still some overspray that needs to be buffed off under the strakes one of these days.
There were thunder storms in the area today so didn't do a post maintenance flight check. I helped a friend replace conduits for the main landing gear on his Comanche.
