I'm having a fuel problem in the following configuration: engine warm, full throttle climb: (My electric fuel pump is switched) Fuel pressure indication suddenly goes low (around 2 psi) but engine continues to run smoothly. I switch on the electric pump & pressure returns to normal, but fuel FLOW indicates high (around 10 gph) and I smell fuel. I switch pump off, flow returns to normal, fuel pressure goes low again, fuel smell dissipates.
Pre- and post-flight inspection shows full tank, clean gascolator, clean float bowls, all lines secure & tight. The fuel pump had already been replaced in accordance with Service Bulletin, and I am on the latest & greatest in a long, tiresome & incredibly expensive evolution of carburetor floats (The last 2 sets of floats were $300!).
What's my problem?
Thanks,
Jim
