  Mike,

If your fuel flow meter is the same that came in the Pitts S-2B models 
(Christen/Pitts S-2B-16R, actually a Flowscan 201-B), you can send it to Rocky 
Mountain Instruments in Thermopolis, WY and they can check it out for you.  
When I was having problems with my system a couple of years ago, they were the 
only place I found that were willing to trouble shoot the read-out.  They still 
had transducers available as well.  You can call them at 307 864 9300.  Good 
luck.
