Extract
From time to time w.e hear of mysterious engine failures, sometimes resulting in forced landings, in which the engine is reported to have gradually lost power until it was ticking over or had cut out completely. This may have been accompanied by sticking of the throttle, so that the pilot was unable to control his engine, and by rough running. Full power is usually recovered at lower altitudes or after landing, and when the engine is run up no defects can be discovered. At certain times of the year similar symptoms have been observed in the case of engines running on the test bed.
