Default Does Lycoming make any sense?

Robert, does it matter whether the boost pump is on or not?

I just spoke with Lycoming regarding my very high fuel flow. Recently
I've had a problem where I'm getting almost double my normal fuel flow
at idle even with the mixture at the edge of cut-off. I suspected a
servo but called Lycoming. They said I may have a nozzel with a
blockage and the other nozzles are streaming because of it.
Does this make any sense? Could a blockage cause an *INCREASE* in fuel
flow?
I have a JPI fuel transducor wheel that measures fuel flow that has
shown to be very accurate.
