I watched the webinar on fuel flow testing which stated gravity flow should be 150% of engine requirements at 25 degree deck angle and measured at the carb. But, what about a dual carb engine like the 912? With the fuel flow split between the carbs, would you need 300% to ensure 150% at each carb?

Or, do you just measure it at one carb and assume the engine will run on half the fuel volume going to each carb? The webinar did not address dual carb engines.

Ideas?

Fuel flow is 150% of what the engine consumes irrespective of the number of
carbs the engine may have. So fuel flow would be measured prior to splitting
off for each carb.
