Analysis
According to the pilot the engine failed after liftoff at about the 3500 foot point down the runway at approximately 300 feet AGL. The runway has 1000 feet of overrun and the aircraft came to rest near the runup area for runway 12. The aircraft had not been flown since December 1980 at which time 1 hour was flown off the full load since refueling. Investigation revealed the carburetor bowl contained about 3/4 pint of water.
