What were your pre-first-flight fuel flow numbers at various fuel levels and angles of attack? On 5 Dec 2014 10:52, "Jim Kress" <jim.kress(at)att.net (jim.kress(at)att.net)> wrote:[quote]On a training flight yesterday in a Zenith STOL 750 with an 0-200 engine we experienced a short stoppage of the engine while doing a prolonged high angle of attack, power on stall. We had about half tanks of fuel on board. Once the engine quit we lowered the nose and immediately turned on the electric fuel pump. The engine came back to life and the rest of the flight was uneventful. This phenomenon was not experienced during the 40 hour flight testing period.
There is a placard advising that the "electric boost pump should be used for takeoff and landing", however perhaps this should be changed to say, " electric boost pump should be used during training maneuvers and low level operations" or something like that.

INSTALL A COLLECTOR TANK TO ACT AS A BUFFER FOR WHEN YOUR WING TANKS UNCOVER (easily done with fuel low) engine keeps running. Best insurance you ca buy.
