Sounds like it could be a fuel pump issue. I would be checking for flow, pressure and selector valve. I have not heard of vapor lock issue on these aircraft too much. Nothing to be taking lightly, check the Continental Service Bulletins and check the fuel system per Continental Service Manual. Check these items on the ground and be careful if and when you test fly.

Rear engine vapor lock
The U S Air Force issued TCTO 1L-2A-569 (Time Compliance Technical Order) requiring all 0-2A/B aircraft engine fuel lines be insulated to eliminate the heating factor which contributes to fuel vaporization. If anyone wants a copy please call or e-mail me.
We routinely install "Fire Sleeve" insulation on all engine fuel lines on all 337 and 0-2 aircraft that we restore or maintain. The proper size "Fire Sleeve" can be purchased from Spruce or other sources. Don Nieser (0-2 and 337 parts Guy) Commodore Aerospace Corp 405-503-4686 nieser.02.337parts@juno.com www.02337parts.com |
