140L woes

[Robert Schofield]

Ed,
Have you replaced the check valve. You might want to make sure it is O.K.
Intermittant leak-back will drive you nuts.

hole to draw air??

overhauled(needed).  The problem is the engine dies only on landing
approach.  Not during a spin, stall turn, or idling on the ground.  In fact,
prior to takeoff it will idle extremely well, for 5-6 minutes, only at the
end of the flight, with fuel, it dies about 5 ft high.  It doesn't matter
how fast the idle is advanced either.
