I have seen one example of this happening on an Ercoupe using a smaller
than
normal ID fuel line from center tank to carb.....(from firewall filling to
carb). I don't remember just what the sizes were, but it seems the
flexible
hose would stretch over the fittings, (even tho small ID.)

With the smaller than required ID, the gravity fuel flow was too little to
keep the carburetter full, at full throttle.

A proper sized hose fixed the problem.  Check specifications as to the
proper
size hose.

As I remember, it was an exciting time around the pattern - the engine
would
run at about 1700 RPM or so, and he was able to kleep it in the air around
the
pattern and land safely.

Bigger hose fixed the problem...
