hi guys, I'm working on a small biplane that has fuel problems. Everything is fine until the fuel gets to about half tank and increased pitch attitude the engine quits. Looking for ideas from the group I've replumbed the system and haven't flown it since. what I had was work done by a few different people with all kinds of there ideas none of which worked, so now its plumbed tank to gascolator to engine and have good flow at the carb with full tank. It's a 85hp engine and the flow is about 4-5 psi per measured flow. Its my guess that as the deck angle / fuel level reaches level the fuel flow stops or slows down.
The engine doesn't have a fuel pump and no electric pumps in the system , on certified planes easy fix put pumps in but the owner would like to keep the money at a min. So what do you recommend for this? Thanks.
