John,
Check the fuel pressure regulator.
If the diaphragm fails, fuel can be pumped through the manifold pressure
sensing line into the intake system.
Fuel pressure regulator malfunction could
also explain why the outlet of the FI fuel pump is so hot.

condition
Jeff, I went back out
and ran the engine again. The fuel pumps are T-eed of after the
gascolator and go to the separate fuel systems, the Weber is on top of the
engine, above the fuel level in tank. I ran the engine on fuel injection
and it was working fine when it was cool. I shut off the primary injector
switch and the engine quit immediately like it had always done in the past, but
when it go warm (190) and started missing, it ran a lot better with the
injector switch off and when I turned the injectors back on it was missing
terrible and this time I noticed that the Manifold pressure creep up from 13#
to 24# and the EGT on the #1 rotor went down to the bottom of the scale.
I tried the scene 3 times and the results were the same each time with the primary or
secondary injector switches on. Like wise it is a big question to me, as
to the change in function in the injector switches.
Could it be that the computer is
flooding the #2 rotor and the reason it doesn't quit when I turn the mixture to
full lean at 2000 rpm. It does run a little better at higher rpm's (like
4000).
The injectors were reconditioned
ones that I got from Bruce T and I'm thinking that the #1 primary injector may
not be working when it gets hot. On the other hand, doesn't the secondary
system take over, or is that only at higher rpm's.
If it is a ground condition, it
seems like it wouldn't wait until the engine is hot to quit working, it would
be happening at any time. JohnD
