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?
