I was acceptance test pilot for Lake Amphibians - gotta be 40 years ago. 

Tests were flown on receipt of aircraft at Montreal Dorval airport (it has a 

politician`s name now).

Every time I got to 500 AGL staring the turn, the engine would falter and 

quit. I had to declare an emergency and deke back onto a smaller runway. 

Several airliner overshoots ensued.

We tried everything, until I tipped the old girl on her tail at the climb 

angle of occurence.  Bingo.

At that angle, fuel blanked a tank vent reducing venting to half.

..took me two weeks to clear my name with the tower.



Might be worth a squint.
