I have been following the run-in instructions provided with my engine overhaul. I have about 5 hours on the engine at this point. I am flying between 4500-6500 feet full rich which is a lot lower altitude than normal -- between 8500 and 11500. The plane is an RV-6 with a carbureted O-320 and a fixed pitch Sensenich cruise prop. At 75-85% power the fuel flow is 12 gallons per hour. Does that sound in the range of normal? I have just never run the plane like this.
Thanks,
Hank
