Pre-takeoff checklist
It is probably nothing but I have felt my O-200 stutter for a second or two on two different flights. Both flights were in the evening at 2000ft. and around 10-20 minutes into flight. The RPM would drop a few hundred for a second with no vibrations then back to 2500RPM. Both flights I had 12-14 gallons total, and checked for water before flying. OAT was in the 90's and engine temp was about 190 F. I assume it is just water or something in the fuel line. So what else may have caused this?
The engine is an O-200 overhauled 10 years ago by Mattituck, and has 400hrs SMOH and doesn't burn more than a 1qt of oil every 8 hours.
Thanks,
Mike
