Default Does Lycoming make any sense?

I don't think so, at least not very much decrease. I think the fuel will
divide among the functioning injector nozzles. This is why the pressure
increases when one is blocked, the fuel is forced through a fewer number

of
orifices, causing a greater pressure drop across them.


If we are talking about the OEM 'flowmeter', how many transducers does it
have? It would need two to measure a pressure drop. It needs only one to
measure the pressure near the spider. If it has only one transducer near the
spider, and a nozzle clogs, the remaining nozzles won't flow enough to
relieve the increased pressure and the result will be an increased 'flow'
indication.
