Blenheim problems (CEM)

I think that mixture don't make diference. I move all way and the engines don't show any change in rpm...

Try taking off on lean. You will see that you need some more power. Sliding to rich (or normal) is the way to get that power. You'll notice the difference there.

you have to start the engines with 0% anyway

Well it means all the way back. I made the comment because Siegfried said it made no difference at all. I found it made a lot of difference, especially on the take off run.
Levers forward=weak (lean)
Levers backwards=normal (rich)

Temps are the most imporrtant issue on this plane. Cylinder head temps are critical. Keep in between 200 and 240.
