Kolbers, ahh, a nice morning at last. Haven't been to a certain
airport (8NK4) to visit the tirekickers so far this summer.
-about time. This time I'll fill BOTH tanks so I can goof off.
Everything running good, went over the carb recently and
removed the useless choke plate and test run ok. Actually has more
RPM now.
What's wrong with that flopped rudder pedal? Broke spring hook.
Bend and reattach. ok, let's go.
Right crosswind but just a burble from the trees at the exit end.
Climb out. Even turned on the GPS and brought a cell phone.
Just about at a reasonable altitude to leave the area, go to pull
back the power a touch and it slows down by itself.....
Not again! Sure hate those unscheduled landings. -RPM regains
normal and I swing back towards home.
Can't figger. Can't be too hot. Oil pressure good. I land and do
some runup with brake. No problem, except for spooked BB.
Not a-goin' to 8NK4
I run it around the neighborhood trying to replicate. Nope. Keeps
running great. HMMMM, I had switched to the left tank.
Haven't used that for a while. My guess is it had a big slug of air
in the hose that caused the float bowl to get a little low.
I'll mow the strip. Got a basket of timothy on the tail wires.

-Forgot to mention, I replaced the fuel line since I last flew and
failed to include both tanks in the test run.
yup

I would be likely to stay over the field and high enough to land power off if my engine did something like that. You did the smart thing, we fly for fun, and if there is a doubt about the reliability of your engine, its much better to test and make sure everything is right before flying cross country.
