Maybe the engine
driven fuel pump is failing. We are running low boost continuously in
case the engine pump fails and to address fuel pressure issues at altitude,
hot fuel, vapor lock and other problems.
I understand the
engine will not make full power on low boost (reduce manifold pressure and
settle for less power?)
Or, it might
quit if high boost is on and the mixture is not adjusted.
Since engine
driven pump failure, heat and altitude all affect fuel delivery, it would seem
using the low boost continuously could solve or make these problems
manageable.
Dr. Lyle Koen
did our last two physicals. He was a very likeable guy who built one of
the early IV’s and had over 1000 hours on it. We talked to him about
joining LOBO and coming to the Branson Fly-In.
Given the more
knowledgeable than usual witness account, could training have changed this
outcome?
