fuel flow rates - kent engine ?

[Ian7]

For purposes of verifying / redesigning fuel system, does anyone have measured or manufacturers data for fuel flow rate in a dual-weber 1600cc Kent (say 125hp) at max load?

 

In pounds per hour or gallons per hour, either way

 

thanks

for any given engine, flow rate in lb/hr = peak power (hp) * BSFC (brake specific fuel consumption).

 

BSFC is roughly about .5 to .55.

 

So, if hp=200, lb/hr is roughly about 100.

 

Hope this helps.
