## Discrepancy

PARTIAL POWER LOSS.  FINGER SCREEN WAS FOUND PARTIALLY FILLED WITH A LINT-LIKE SUBSTANCE TO THE POINT THAT FUEL FLOW WAS RESTRICTED.

GASCOLATOR WAS DISASSEBLED, AND SCREEN WAS FOUND TO BE CLEAN.  THE GASOLATOR HAD FAILED TO TRAP CONTAMINATION.  SYSTEM REASSEMBLED, AIRCRAFT GROUND RUN AND TEST FLOWN.  OPERATION NORMAL, RETURNED TO SERVICE.
