I have installed the Skyview fuel pressure sensor 0-30psi and pick- up from 'T' between mechanical f/ pump and MA-3 carb. Lycoming sets the range between 3 and 8 psi max. but I am getting 16psi @ 1200 rpm and goes down to 12psi @ 1550 rpm. Can someone guide me if this is correct installation wise? Fuel flow is correct as per chart but the high pressure is worrying me :'(

I bet you have the wrong sensor selected in the EMS setup. I believe the SkyView ships with the fuel injection sensor standard, which would end up reading high if you really had a 15 PSI sensor installed.

Yes, you are correct. Just checked set up and changed it to carb sensor. Will be doing an engine run up check this weekend :) thanks
