I had a similar problem in my rocket many summers ago. It would go away when I added the electric boost pump and turned out to be a failing engine driven fuel pump.On my bird I have to add the boost pump when climbing above 12,000 or the fuel flow is insufficient for the big TSIOL-550 even when everything is perfect. Perhaps you have fuel pressure before and after to confirm?

Either way you were flying leaner on the flight you are describing (higher temps and lower fuel flow).

Hi Aaron.  "tit hottest cyl" doesn't make sense.  There is only one TIT and it is not measured at any cylinder, it is Turbine Inlet Termp., its measured at the turbo.  I believe you are thinking of Engine Gas Temp, EGT can be measured at each cylinder, so you can have a "hottest" and "coolest" EGT.  The engine driven fuel pump is a very good possibility for your problem.

We are having the same problem with a rocket. The mechanic just sent the fuel pump out for repair. I'll let you know how it goes. It should be back soon.
