Hi All. I have a 1974 Arrow 2. IO 360. Runs great. Today we noticed that the fuel pressure gauge was showing on the low red band (edge of green in cruise). More throttle equaled lower pressure. Usually the fuel pressure gauge is right in the middle of the green for all phases. When turn on the elec pump, fuel press returns to normal middle green.

Did a run up on ground when landed. Elec fuel pump off. Idle was normal green, 2000 rpm was edge of green. 2500 rpm was low red line.

Does this sound familiar for eng driven pump demise symptoms?

No fuel leaks. No fuel on bottom of engine. No surging. All hoses connected.

Thanks. Tim
