Lycoming O-360 Fuel Flow Rate
      
      
      
      I'm still chasing down this weird problem with low fuel flow rates on the RV-6.
      I've replaced the mechanical fuel pump and got a rebuilt 4-5 carburetor, both
      of which were well over do for replacement/overhaul anyway.  I haven't put the
      cowling back on yet, but I did a static run up to about 2350-2400 and am seeing
      about 9gph, which seems low to me?  
      
      I pulled the fuel line off the carburetor and turned the electric fuel pump on
      and saw about 21 GPH flow.  Is that considered "normal" or too low?
      
      Thanks for the feedback,
      
      Matt
