Ken,
Knowing your fuel system as I do, I concur the problem is not with the f
uel flow sensor.
I would verify that your manifold pressure gage is properly calibrated.
This would explain the excessive fuel flow per inches of mercury.
I believe for each fuel flow you have listed the actual H.P. you are pro
ducing is actually greater than that corresponding to the M.P. listed.

Hi Simon,
I wish they were. I recently put over 1000 miles on N214KS and the fu
el
required
to fill the tank agreed to within .1/.2 gallons of what the gauge said I
used. Plugs look normal.

Are you sure that your fuel flowe sensor is correctly calibrated?
Are these airspeeds IAS or TAS?
