Started the engine this morning just fine. Ran it up, and while I checked the boost pump I noticed nothing on the fuel pressure gauge. Turned it off and still reads 0.
Had my mechanic check the pressure line from the electric fuel pump. We took it off and had what seemed like a normal small stream of fuel with the pump on and throttle/mixture forward. Over flow valve is pumping just fine. We cleaned the point at the pump and re-tried with no avail.
To get from the firewall to the gauge is tight. We haven't checked it. My gauge was always moving quickly back and forth with the pump on or off for the last two years, always in the green.
I'm guessing it's the gauge itself.
Wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem? What is the cheapest way to get me back in the air? Considered going electric but need vectors on a cheap reliable product. Or, just buy from a used pressure gauge from a salvage place.
Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!
