It has been a few day since I have been able to fly(Oct 12). The morning was beautiful. Little to no wind, blue skys, and the time had just change back an hour. I took off then headed to toward the north. I flew to the airport at Arkadelphia. As I announced that I was going to go over mid field then I heard that there were 4 black hawk mil helis on approach. I decided to fly parallel to the runway and watch them land to a hover then take off to the Southwest. I decided to fly back to Gurdon at 1000 ft.
About 5 miles out from Gurdon everything went quiet. I quickly flipped up the aux fuel pump. The restart went great. The engine smoothed and I flew the last 5 miles with out further incidence.
After church I checked the main fuel pump and found where the ground had come loose. I fixed this and flew this afternoon. No further problem.
This loose ground can be attributed to checking all my connection when I do my walk around. So be careful and don't pull too hard.
