Default Fuel servo problem???

Do you have an EGT on each cylinder? Do all the cylinders
run at the same temperature?

Most fuel flow gauges actually measure pressure and are
calibrated for know orifice sizes and fuel density. A
plugged fuel spider line or nozzle or a nozzle that is too
big will cause problems.


Fuel pressure stayed around 22lbs. Flow is measured by a transducer
spinning wheel ala JPI. Adding that was the best buy I ever made.

What would have happened if this happened in flight?
