So thought I would share it with you. It occurred to that possible fuel vapors, don't know what the temps were but see Oly wearing a jacket in the videos, it probably was not that hot - and I also know Oly has a 6 psi pump which would tend to prevent that - no float bowl in the Ellison either for fuel to heat up in. Hope he finds the answer. Ed, Just a quick note, haven't got much news at this point. The engine quit on downwind for no apparent reason. When I got it back to the hangar today I was able to turn the prop and felt like it had normal compression. I got the cowlings off & it looks like all the fuel lines were intact, no oil lines broken, no leaks etc. The fuel tank stayed together and still has fuel. I will investigate further and as soon as I now something definite I'll touch base again.
