( Just a little help from a tailwind though   ) This was in our -10 MU2, the F model would likely have been 30-40 kts slower, but still 350kts does shift your universe. If you can find a MU2 with good maintenance history and all else being equal, engines over TBO would honestly not bother me.  Hilgard

  You need to make the right engine just as efficient and you will have tremendous range!
  Mike C. I knew someone would pick up on that, no surprise it's you   The left fuel flow gauge gradually decreases as we gain altitude slowly moving to zero after about 45 minutes of flight. The colder it is the quicker it "freezes up". On descent it "warms up" and reads accurate before we land. Fuel flow on the GPS' transducer and Foxboro totalizer remains accurate, so it must be a faulty gauge. IJSC will have to look at it again and perhaps replace the gauge at the next service, as they could not give me an answer for this last time. Hilgard

  This is similar to an issue on my Solitaire, except the totalizer was off as well.  When I turn the inlet heats on, it begins to function again.  The indicators were swapped and the issue stayed on the same engine and didnt chase the indicator, which we suspeected would be the case, but it’s a simple test.  I am pretty sure a new “sensor” or wire repair will fix the problem.  We will find out soon enough.
