Default RE: Info from Data Terminal after a shutdown

New season and back to this model to see if the K140F will run properly. Basically a No based on today. First flight got a flameout and that's what it said on the GSU. Tried again on the ground and got same but noticed that I was getting 'Pump limited reached' before the flameout. Took the BVM UAT out of the system (fuel tank direct to pump). Started up again and got same result with 'Pump limit reached'. Took the fuel tank out of the system by taking fuel line out of the pump into my fuel jug. Same! Got 'pump limit reached'.

I've re-plumbed this complete system twice so it's not a blockage. I've sent the fuel pump back once, it was repaired and sent back. What else could be the problem? I'm thinking the fuel pump is still faulty. 2 years I've had this turbine and not got it to wrong properly yet. [:@]
