New owner - fuel pressures

[Ken MacLean]

I think Kevin's right - there are two problems here. I sent this link to my mechanic who read it and liked the leaf blower idea, although we're going to use a shop vac. In the past they have run the engine and squirted I'm not sure what around, diagnosing a leak when the engine stumbled. All this while the prop was turning. You guys have helped us find a safer alternative. Good work. I hope that takes care of the manifold pressure issue.

I'll bet the fuel flow issue is coincidental but not caused by the MP problem. I'm going to spring for the fuel system setup after the leak test if things don't return to normal. One thing the shop guys suggested was reversing the feed to the fuel flow instrument to see if readings reverse themselves. Seems like a reasonable diagnostic to me.

I'll keep you posted.
