Fuel Diverter.

Hi All,

I had planned to go flying today. However I could not get my engine started. I have a 2007 C182. Usually when the fuel pump is activated for the usually 8 secs a fairly large fuel flow is show. However, today this was much lower than usual. Too low to feed the carburetor with enough fuel to start.

This is the second time I've had this problem. The local engineers told me last time the fuel diverter had failed? Is this a common problem with fuel injected engines?

The local engineers can't look at this for at least a week, commercial aircraft get priority

Is this something I could fix with the help of a FAA Engineer?

If the answer to the above is Yes and your an FAA Engineer or suitably qualified please IM me. (Perth area)

Thanks

SF
