Default RE: Pump Limit Reached

Thanks for the replies. That is what I thought, also. This is my first Jet Central, but all turbines should react the same. My PST's show a voltage increase when they get clogged. So, I checked all the lines, except the one under the engine cover, and then cleaned out the filter. I did a restart and slowly advanced the throttle one click at a time and found the message pops up at the very last click of throttle input. As long as I don't use the last click of throttle, I don't get a message. I managed a couple of additional flights that day but did not peg the throttle stick and the message did not show again. The PW shows 75 at idle and over 800 at almost (one click short of) WOT giving 116,000 RPM. I should have checked the original WOT PW reading when I first got the engine, but neglected to do so. I don't have a baseline for the WOT. I also charge the battery every flight.
I will check under the engine cover and re-clean the external filter and give it another try. Thanks.
