However, Artie stated that he has the Marvel carb, not the Stromberg. The Marvy does have an acceleration pump. And, given that, he should check to make sure that said pump has not given up the ghost. That would certainly explain the cough and sputter. Another thing to check is to be sure that the slug of water is not, in fact, in the header tank and that some of said slug isn't finding its way back to the pickup under certain conditions of forward acceleration. I would drain a whole bunch of fuel (like maybe a half gallon) with the plane level and then put sandbags on the tail and drain about that much again. This is a good way to reassure yourself that the water isn't just waiting until you pitch up to bite you.
