"Curiouser and curiouser", said Alice. I talked to my neighbor who helped me retrieve my airplane yesterday afternoon. He recalls flipping all three switches on my overhead panel just before loading my airplane on the trailer to haul back to my yard, so apparently the boost pump was on after all.
Conditions at the time were low temps (low 80's) and very high humidity following the passage of thunderstorms several hours before. I checked the engine for seizure last night and there is no sign. The engine starts and runs normally. The fuel lines are firm and I can't find anything that would have obstructed the flow of fuel to the engine so the only thing I can come up with is carb ice. I've had the symptoms before and once actually found frost on the outside of the carb bodies when I was fast enough getting out of the plane. I wish I'd had the foresight to have checked Sunday night, but I wasn't the best investigator right then. I guess I'll never know.
