THE FLIGHT HAD ORIGINATED AT BILLINGS, MT ENROUTE TO GRAND FORKS, ND WITH A FIGHT PLAN ETA OF 2030.  THE PILOT RECEIVED VECTORS TO THE LARIMORE, ND AIRPORT AND LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  A POST FLIGHT INSPECTION OF THE AIRCRAFT INDIACTED A STATE OF NEAR FUEL EXHAUSTION.  THE PILOT WAS INTERVIEWED AND HIS PREFLIGHT PLANNING VERIFIED THAT HE HAD REQUIRED FUEL RESERVES PLANNED.  THE PILOT HAS OWNED THE AIRCRAFT FOR ABOUT5 YEARS AND HAD ACCUMULATED 500 IN IT.  THE CARBURETOR HAD BEEN OVERHAULED A YEAR EARLIER BUT FUEL CONSUMPTION HAD NOT INCREASED.  THE AICRAFT HAD RETURNED TO BILLINGS WITHOUT ENCOUNTERING AN INCREASED FUEL CONSUMPTION.  THE AIRCRAT IS SCHEDULED FOR AN ANNUAL INSPECTION AT THE TIME OF THIS REPORT.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
