Grover,

I'm not familiar with that exact setup but, keep in mind that the Franklin
is a small bore block (350cid) so would
require less fuel than the big bore Continental. With that said, 18psi on
the high side seems too low.

I am working though a problem on N832AB. It is a 173LW with a Franklin
engine and Continental injection. What I am trying to find out is what fuel
pressure settings to start with. The idle is now set at 12psi but the high
side will not adjust any higher than 18 psi. Judging by the TCM service
bulletin, it would seem that I should be seeing around 24-29psi. Does anyone
have experience with this combination? What settings work on a Frankiln?
