Has anyone with twin engines have a 35% +/- differance between new engines at the same RPM's in fuel usage. My new Honda 150's and flow scan sensors are showing a range at 5000 rpm of 6.75 gph on starboard vs 9.0 gph on port. It does not seem right. Only 7.2 hrs on the engines. Any ideas. Good bye Hurricane Charley, you should have been named Clyde to have followed Bonnie.

I would run the engines a bit more until they are well broken in and check the fuel usage again. could be the flow scan is off, also...

I switched the fuel lines from one totalizer to the other, same results. It's not the flow scans.
