Just fired up the 185 for the first time since early September, number 6 cylinder is acts like it has a plugged injector. I have had a plugged injector twice over the years and cleaned them myself and will do again. The question is which is #6? No one to call (long Canadian holiday weekend) to ask. Thank you to anyone that knows.

Hey Steve, not 100% sure, but I think it's the left rear when sitting on the seat.

Left front when sitting in pilot seat .Number one is back by the starter. Five behind oil cooler

Yup. Left front.

Plus it has a 6 cast into the case near the cylinder base.

If you have 1 dirty injector it would pay to flush them all out.

From what I could scrounge on the internet, my guess was the left front, but wanted to confirm. Need to get those written down somewhere. Thank you for the info.

I always forget, esp since Lyc & Cont number them differently, & so to avoid having to climb up on a ladder to check the number cast into the case I use a pencil to write the cyl # on the valve cover.

With fouled injector, easy way to figure out which it is, even w/o multi probe egt/cht is to hop out quick after shutdown, pull the top cowl, and lightly touch each cylinder. The one with the fouled injector will be quite a bit cooler than the others.

I hit the CHT probe with a heat gun before starting work to make sure the monitor is mapped to the cylinder numbers correctly.

Good thinking!

Its cast into the case in pretty large print as one guy already posted. DId TCM quit doing that? I must me missing something.
