The problem seems to be that the fuel flow starts to decrease to 28 gph at around 17,000 feet resulting in a rapid rise in the EGTs, TITs, and CHTs (limiting the climb to 19,000 or so). Please comment on what might be causing the decrease in fuel flow at 17,000. On the trip back from Florida yesterday I put on high fuel boost when the problem started to occur at 17,000. The fuel transiently rose above 30 gph only to immediately return to about 28 gph without and change in the mixture. I thought that I would have to immediately lean the mixture when the full boost was applied; surprise!
