Stanley, If you are truly running 1800 EGT, I think that you are burning your engine up. The reason for asking about the meter and mixture control was to determine if you have a way to adjust the mixture from the cockpit and if you have another way of verifying those extraordinary temperatures. I think that if your mixture is lean to the point that you get a true 1800, that your engine would not run. And if the air-fuel ratio meter is telling you that your mixture is correct, then the EGT gauge is faulty. You said that you have the standard intake system, so unless you have done something upstream of the air-fuel sender, your mixture is correct.
