I'm New Here
I flew into KUDG and landed after a 2.5 hr flight. The engine quit on short final and was a bit hard to restart after roll out. I refueled, ran engine w/boost pump on,tried each mag, carb heat on/off, still stumbled and quit if throttled below 1200. Perhaps foolishly flew home and same thing happened on short final. I pulled cowls off and found gascolator bowl full of water. Installed quick drain, refueled - no water in tanks or gascolator, but same problem of engine stopping at lower than 1200. Boost pump works ok, carb screen clean and gascolator screen clean.
What else could I look at? Needless to say, it is quite unsettling.
