Somebody please tell me...

I can takeoff and climb to 5000 ft. However, no matter what settings of mixture, prop pitch, cowl flaps, rpm or boost, the engines begin to run rough and eventually die with me performing a forced landing and restarting. I've been watching the rad temp over my shoulder and keeping it at 200C or so and with oil temps around 60-70C Eventually the oil temps drop to 30C and things die. If I try to close rad then water gets too hot.

This thing is broken I'm sure.

You dont mention heat. try heating ur carbs (eating your carbs)

The only way I've found to keep the engines running while airborne is fly as follows:

-Full Boost +5 (full throttle) to heep Oil Temp at least 40 C. Anything less than full boost and oil temps fall to below 40 and things die.

-Full coarse pitch: To keep rad temp below 230 C I need to keep RPM's low to 1600 etc, otherwise rad overheats.

-Cowl flaps full open: to keep rad temp below 230 C.

Mixture full lean seems to have no effect, mind you I haven't been higher than 6000 ft.

I've tried running with 60-70% throttle but then boost is too low and oil temp dies off.

What am I doing wrong here? Nothing I've tried other than the above can keep the big bird in the sky. Is it somewhat broken? I don't want to turn off CEM or disable engine temp management.
