Bill,
 
I have a "spare" 201B.  If it was idle for a few years, could there be deposits in the transducer that affect the flow?  Perhaps clean it with an injector cleaner or MEK.....
 
How strange were the results?  Is it possible there is crud in the fuel line.  These transducers are very sensitive to turbulent flow.
 
Scott
 
PS Contact me direct if you wish to try mine.
 
PPS I have used two different 201B sensors with no need for "K" factor adjustment.

Plane grounded for several years....new windshield, lots of dust and debris ,  pulled DPU and fuel pressure sensor because of fuel pressure problems.  Unit was checked out and reinstalled.  Got MP and RPM stable.  Strange results with fuel flow.  Can't seem to get 43 gph WOT. Engine feels strong.  Might be transducer???  Rechecking wiring today.  Any thoughts ???

Bill,
 
Did you change anything just before the flow indication went wonky?  Moved the sensor, changed its hookup, etc.?

Does anyone have a VM 1000 fuel flow transducer that they arnt using
at the present time?

Mine is giving me strange readings and after running the Transducer
Test, I dont know where else to look..

I had the DPU checked out and upgraded.  The fuel pressure was out of
tolerance but the offset was constant,
so its usable at least for the present.

If I had my druthers, I would like to borrow a transducer, if
possible, just to check against mine.  I understand that
the original unit is a flowscan 201B  and the VNS # is 3010032 or maybe 3010035.

Any help would be appreciated.
