k in Lamar CO with 914 problems.- Have spent most of the day talking to B
ud for ideas. Flew about 4 hours yesterday, stopped for fuel and lunch.- 
Takeoff was normal but when leveled off, noted fuel flow was only 3.5 gph, 
not the expected 5.5.- Increasing throttle gave more MP but same fuel flo
w.- Engine felt rough or different than normal.=0A>=0A> Landed and inspec
ted under cowl - no problem noted.- We had just gotten fuel so thought ma
ybe that caused it.- Tried flight this morning when it was cooler, had to
 make emergency landing because power dropped soon after takeoff.- No vib
ration, just wouldn't climb.- Found that our fuel tank vent was plugged, 
cleared it, ran ground tests & Jim did 20 minute solo test flight with no p
roblem.- Loaded plane & departed again, engine power dropped just after g
ear retract, made another emergency landing.- (Obvious answer is don't le
t Heather in the plane- [Wink] )=0A>=0A> At this point we're thinking pul
l carbs for rebuild.- Any other ideas?=0A>=0A> Thanks, Jim & Heather N241
