1.- I don't understand clearly the reason why the fail occurred with 2 people and not with one. Is it that with more weight to lift you need more power and that extra power (with two people inside) has exceeded the limit the fuel flow with the .030 could provide? Daniel, The number of people and full gross weight should not have anything to do with loss of power. It is normal to take off and climb at full power - always. The fuel flow with the limiter is still many times what the engine can use (maybe 5 times as much fuel as the engine can use). 2.- Has the take of angle of climb anything to do with this problem ? Only if your plane is very light, flying solo, and the weather is cold so the engine is extra powerful, is it possible to get the nose so high that fuel does not flow properly to the engine. Not all Ercoupes can get the nose this high. As soon as the nose is lowered, power returns. Ed
