My probllem with fuel starvation. The fuel
pressure regulator is another component to look at.
A few weeks ago, while in flight, the engine
started to loose power. A quick scan showed the fuel pressure going down,
it went down to about 7 psi. I switched fuel pump B on. the pressure
came up to about 27 psi. with the two pumps on and I landed, I was in the
circuit at the time. While taxiing back to the hangar I turned pump A off
and the pressure went down, then I turned pump B off and the pressure went
down. The next day I went back to test the system, I started the
engine on one fuel pump, as usual, the fuel pressure was about 38 psi. as
it has been every time before. Did a few runs on the runway to warm things
up, (no takeoff) everything was ok, fuel pressure was normal all the time, on
one fuel pump of the other. Returned to the hangar, ordered a new
fuel pressure regulator (a new MAZDA regulator) and installed it a few days
later, went flying. The problem never returned.

But was it flown as the photos show without shielding for the
injectors ??.............

Exactly my thoughts. Really a
nece installation- but needs heat sheilding above the exhaust
manifold.
