Jim,
The fuel flow vs power numbers are in the Rotax 914 Owner's Manual.
We cruise at 75 % power, with 20-21 L/h FF.
At 115 % the fuel flow is in the 33 L/h range.
Maybe your instrument reads in liters, or something is wrong with your return
transducer. Note that 35 gph seems not unlike the total flow through the system,
engne consumption plus return flow.
FWIW,
