During the last week the following incident occurred to my RV12 4 times, Twice after takeoff 2 and twice while using climb power above 2500 feet.
In all cases suddenly the fuel flow reading and the red high fuel flow warning light would come on on the Dynon 180. An aural warning also would say "HIGH FUEL RATE. The fuel flow had jumped to 11.0-12.0 GPH. This would continue for about 5 to 10 seconds, at which time the fuel floe would drop to around 8 gpm. The engine always ran smooth every time and all engine gages ran normal.
Has anyone heard of something like this before?. The flights all continued as we were just doing local work. No evidence of anything wrong was found after landing. On 1 instance my passenger said He smelled fuel.
There is possibly some fuel residue on the runoff plates under the carbs.
