RIGHTSIDE UP IT IS TO HIGH WHAT DO I DO ? I WILL TRY TO TAKE SOME PICTURES AND PUT THEM ON HERE[8D][8D]
Ok, forgive my english, as you can see it's not my mother tongue. So I'll try to explain me:
inside your tank, there is a short fuel tube: one side is linked to the "pendulum" for drink the moisture, the other side is linked to a copper tube in wich you plug the fuel line that goes to carburator. That sounds ok?
Well, in my plane, the fuel tube INSIDE the tank was too short, so when climbing, moisture went - for gravity plus acceleration- in the rear side of tank; too far (due the short tube) from my pendulum, that goes dry. Engine become lean and dies...
It was quite difficult for me to discover this problem, because I had to open tank.
Good luck!
