"engine ran perfect however, noticed today on plane flo scan meter was fluctuating between 8-12 gph, should have been about 10 gph.
at idle flow scan also fluctuated between 0-4 gph. normally i burn 2 gph at idle.
thinking it might be the white powdery substance on the vst filter when i got home....i changed the fuel/warier separator (no water found) engine mounted fuel filter and removed and cleaned the vst filter, it was dirty.
with high expectations, started it up on the lift, same problem.
thinking it may be the flow scan sensor (paddle wheel) i called flo scan.
explained all the above to him. he suggested the sensor contact/s may need cleaning. said to remove sensor from filter and plug one end then pour in carb cleaner over night. he said do not use air or put anything else in the cavity.
anybody had a problem with flo scan scan sensors?? or is you money on something else?"
