Victor J. Osborne Jr., your question about fuel flow/pressure is
interesting. When starting you are supposed to advance the lean
control with the aux. fuel pump on to get about 3-5 gal/hr., then when
it starts, you turn off the aux. fuel pump. But once the engine
starts, I don't know what the fuel flow/pressure is. Do I read it on
the fuel flow gage?


You leave the pump on until after starting? My 172R POH says to shut the
pump off before starting. I only use the pump for priming and switching
tanks. I also make sure to lean back a few turns as soon as the engine
settles down.
