Have you
noted your fuel flow at full rich and leaned when taxiing? Perhaps it is
a problem with my instrumentation but I've done this with my Lyc IO-360 and
have seen no measurable drop in fuel flow. Any throttle position above a
stuttering rough uses the same fuel.
Robert,
I have not monitored the fuel flow gauge carefully during this phase.
It is about 1.5 GPH at 1000-1100 RPM. If I spend the time, I do see a rise
of 20-30 RPM if I lean to "peak" RPM.
Stuttering - something's wrong. I am operating with an electronic
ignition (LASAR), fine wire plugs gapped more open than normal, .022
shrouded injectors that deliver cruise EGT peaks within .3 - .5 GPH (GAMI
Lean Test) and other adjustments. Thus, I believe I have achieved a
reasonable balance of the required 3 S's - Spark, SFuel and SAir - throughout
all normal engine operation.
I will try to get the FF info today (weather permitting - it's freaking
cold here) as best I can as reported by the VM EPI800 engine
monitor.
