Complete engine
power
los
is
usually caused by
fuel
flow
intemrption,
and
power
will
be
restored
shortly
after fuel
flow
is restored. If
power
loss
occurs
at
low altitude,
the
first
step
is
to
prepare for
an
emergency
landing
(See
POWER OFF
LANDING).
Maintain
an airspeed of at
least
100
MPH
IAS, and if
altitude
permits, proceed
as
follows:
l. Fuel
Selector - Switch
to another tank
containing
fuel.
2.
Electric
Fuel
hrmp
-

3. Mixture

4.

5.
Engine
Gauges

Check
for
an
indication of the
cause
of
power
loss.
6. If
no
fuel
pressure
is
indicated, check
tank
selector
position
to
be
sure
it
is
on
a
tank
containing
fuel.
When
power
is
restored:
8.
Altemate Air -
Off
9.
Electric Fuel hrmp

If
the above steps do
not
restore
power,
prepare
for
an
emergency
landing.
If
time
permits:
l. Ignition Switch
-
"L"
then
"R"
then
back
to
"BOTH."
2. Throttle and
Mixture
-
Different
settings.
(This
may
restore
power
if
the
problem
is
too rich
or too lean a
mixture,
or
if
there is
partial
fuel
rystem
restriction.)
3.
Try other
fuel tanks.
(Water
in
the
fuel
could
take some time
to
be
used up, and
allowing
the
engine
to
windmill
may
restore
power.
If
power
loss
is due to
water,
fuel
pressure
indications will
be normal.)
NO13
If engine
failure
was
caused by
fuel
exhaustion,
power
will
not be
regained
after tanks
are
switched until empty
fuel
lines are
filled,
which
may
require up to ten seconds.
If
power
is
not restored,
proceed
with
POWER
OFF
LANDING
procedure.
