Before my first flight I wanted to be sure that the engine will receive enough fuel.
So, I disconnected the fuel hose just before the carburetor, pulled up the nose 13? (tail almost touching the ground) and activated the electric pump for 1'.
I obtained approx. 0,40 US Gallons, which is approx. 24 USG per hour.
Lycoming O-320 manual states that the engine burns 10 USG per hour @2.450 RPMs. But beside the 2.700 RPM no data is indicated.
Which is the predictable fuel burn for an O-320 at full throttle?
Thanks.
