• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

Hi,

our Skybolt has a combined instrument for Manifold Pressure and Fuel Flow.
Fuel Flow does not show any signal.

I am even not sure whether the instrument ist connected correctly. Unfortunately I did not find a proper documentation. United Instruments documentation says just "Connection lines should be clean and connected to the appropriate port". There are three ports at the back: Manifold_Fuel instrument.jpg

At our instrument there are two lines: one for the Manifold pressure (works well) and one line is connected to the vent port, the line leading to the port at the engine spider. The third port (fuel pressure) is just closed.

My questions: is this correct? No line needed to "fuel pressure port"? If the connections are correct I will check the line for a pressure leak first. Any further suggestions?

Best wishes
Thomas
