Default JetCat P-60 Question

The JetCat manual states that the normal range for the "pump start voltage" is 0.100v to 0.325v.....
I currently have 32 hours run time on this engine.....
After every 3-4 hours of run time i would get a "accelerate slow" message on the GSU.....
Thus per the manual i would increase the pump start voltage a tenth or two, and i would get successful starts for another 3-4 hours.....
I am currently at 3.0 volts.....
So, my questions are: is there a maximum pump start voltage in the ECU?...and if so, what is the limit?...
At this point i have a lot more than a thin fuel stream as stated in the manual.....
This also indicates that i have no restrictions in the fuel system in the model, but possibly a restriction inside the turbine.....
Am i making valid assumptions here?
I know i'm over the 25 hour return for service recommendation, and it will be sent in for service very soon....( too cold here to fly anymore this year)
I thought it would be a good idea to post this situation here to get the more experienced P-60 users thoughts and opinions.....

Thanks for any forthcoming commemts,

Richard
