I took my Dakota up for flying today and noticed that for 65% power settings my JPI shows about 55% power. Even 50% if I lean it 50 LOP. CHT and EGT as in pic below. I don't see or feel any roughness in running engine and all compressions have been mid 70. This is new to me Dakota so still learning stuff and wanted to clarify my doubts. I didn't note the data on take off at full throttle which could have been more useful. Or maybe I can download it from 830. Suggestions?
