## Discrepancy

ON CLIMB-OUT AT 6,000 FEET, NOTICED LEFT ENGINE FUEL FLOW LOWER THAN RIGHT ENGINE.  AT 7,500 FEET, WAS GRADUALLY GETTING LOWER.  SUDDENLY DROPPED TO ZERO, AND ENGINE SURGED, THEN QUIT.  SHUT DOWN ENGINE AND RETURNED TO DAB.  FOUND AIR PASSAGE BETWEEN FUEL FEED VALVE AND CARBURETOR BLOCKED.  CLEANED OUT AND AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO SERVICE.
