Harry;  Yes, I had hoped to meet you too, unfortunately, I had other 
commitments. You are right about the fuel line size. Too large a line can 
also cause a problem. Years ago, my father bought a J-4 Cub at a reduced 
price because the owner had problems with the engine quitting on take off.

The problem turned out to be a fuel line that was too large, coupled with
a 
gascolator that was vented. When the aircraft was rotated on take off to
the 
climb attitude, the fuel in the large line actually pulled fuel away from
the 
carburetor. Reducing the size of the line, and capping the gascolator vent

fixed the problem.
