Re: Engine failure on take-off.

      Well, we think so.  Sorry for not getting back to you all.  The airplane is flying
      again and has never had a recurrence.  I found a very small exhaust leak around
      the right EGT probe which was directing hot exhaust toward the bottom of
      the right float bowl.  That combined with the long wait to take off and the auto
      gas I was using probably caused the fuel in the right carb to boil.  We have
      decided that it was vapor lock in one carb.
      
      I fixed the exhaust leak and switched to 50% avgas, and we have been unable to
      duplicate the problem.
