Recently I’ve noticed after an uneventful takeoff, full power, about 3000’ or so and climbing, my C150 begins to have a slight power hesitation. A bit of vibration that I can feel in the rudder peddles, and see on the RPM gauge—faint blips of lost rpms. As soon as I lower the nose back to level (or nearly level) flight and set cruise power, the engine runs completely normal. It makes climbs in an already slow airplane even less fun.
I want to believe it’s carb related, as in maybe a float level set too low that essentially chokes while in a nose high attitude, then finds enough fuel when we’re level again.
Thoughts appreciated.
