Re: [DML] Venturing for some thoughts...

You're right!

I bought one, but when the fuel readings for my PRV were reasonably
close, it didn't help my problems at least.  

Even with appropriate primary and control pressure, there is no assurance
fuel is actually getting anywhere.  From the CO screw to plugged
injectors, dirty lines, frequency valve and leaky accumulators, there is
always something else.  Even when the injectors are new there is no
guarantee that they have the same flow rates.    

The hardest problems to diagnose are intermittent or in sets of 2 or
more.
