Landed last Sunday and while rolling out on runway engine quit. I immediately tried the start key and engine started right up with no further indication of problems. Ran some engine run tests today and found I could get only 3.6 lb psi regardless of rpm (tried 1400 up to 3900). Turned off Facet pump and it made no diff. Looked at the flow or consumption rate and it varied with rpm but only reached 3.5 gal. Sounds like one or both pumps to me. I am due to change mechanical pump anyway as it is 5 yrs old. Tried Facet with engine off and psi maxed out at 1.5 tp 1.7. Seems to me it was higher in the past maybe 2.0 or 2.1. Maybe both are bad? Any input is appreciated. Thanks.
