Three times I have attempted a flight from Nome to Deadhorse. After about 30 minutes, I lose manifold pressure. I have tried everything I can think of: carb heat is on; de-icing equipment is on. I have tried restarting the engines. Nothing seems to help. Is there a secret to keeping the engines lit up in extreme cold?
