Your potential fuel burn sounds right. Gami are pros on Continental. Consider Airflow Performance of Spartanburg, South Carolina for Lycoming.

I completed N810RK about a year and a half ago. It was a slow build kit with lots of mods and I built my own IFR panel with 3 Dynon HDX screens and a Garmin 650. I was curious about performance in the community. I have a Barrett engine with cold air induction and a Showplanes cowl. I usually run it at 19 inches and 2300 rpm which I can hold up to 13,000 I get about 160 TAS down low and about 175 TAS at 13,000. This takes about 12.3 Gal/hr at 50 rich of peak. Does this sound about average for most of you?

I highly recommend their fuel injection class when they start them up again. I was fortunate to have Don balance my injectors after class one day.

I went through a nightmare with gami on my matti tuck red gold lycomingThey had me send my spider out for calibration (any it was fine)
They had me looking for intake leaks that weren’t there
They had my richest cylinder on takeoff become my leanest in cruise
I was glad to find Don Rivera

I spoke with Don this morning. What a great source of information. Wish they offered classes, but the times are what they are.

Right. I would expect they probably flow matched the cylinders as well. I would inspect and clean the #2 injector, then swap it with the #4 injector. That will tell you whether it is the injector or something else. If #4 becomes lean you know it is that injector. If #2 remains lean then either one of the lifters on that cylinder is not operating to spec, or there is an air leak somewhere.

The other part of the equation is airflow. Getting the exact amount of air into each cylinder is probably not possible, so adjusting fuel flow to match the air flow available is probably the only way to do it.

So I ordered 2 restrictors from Airflow that were 0.005 lower flow size, which got me within the desired 0.5 gph from richest to leanest peak. All of my EGTs run very close now, although I still get a very minor roughness when I go LOP. I have thought about trying on notch leaner yet on those two cylinders, new spark plugs and possibly an electronic replacement for one of my mags.

I have duel Emag 2006X electronic ignitions. With the hotter spark the engine should run LOP ok if I get the mixtures even on each cylinder.

In spite of GAMI injectors and reasonably matched flows my -10 was never really happy running LOP until I swapped a mag for a Surefly electronic ignition. Made all the difference.

Thanks for the information. I think I will try that first. Barrett matched the injectors to all flow the same, so that may not do any good. It depends on how close they are. The other part of the equation is airflow. Getting the exact amount of air into each cylinder is probably not possible, so adjusting fuel flow to match the air flow available is probably the only way to do it.
When I try to run lean of peak the engine starts missing some. Probably because my #2 cylinder is just too lean when the others get where they should be.
