Default Does Lycoming make any sense?

I don't think so, at least not very much decrease. I think the fuel will
divide among the functioning injector nozzles. This is why the pressure
increases when one is blocked, the fuel is forced through a fewer number of
orifices, causing a greater pressure drop across them.

I've heard the same
exact thing before...blockage can cause an increase in fuel flow.


It causes an increase in the indication on the OEM indicator which in
actuality is a pressure guage, not a flowmeter. Mr. Gary's system uses a
true flowmeter and a clogged injector line should show a decrease in flow.
