Read the full NTSB narrative

THIS ACFT HAD NOT HAD AN ANNUAL INSPECTION IN MORE THAN 13 YEARS AND HAD NOT BEEN FLOWN IN 8 YEARS. DURING THE ACCIDENT FLT THE ACFT ENGINE QUIT AFTER 25 MINUTES OF FLT. AFTER THE FORCED LANDING A MECHANIC FOUND THE CARBURETOR BOWL DRY AND THE FUEL LINE VENT STUCK CLOSED. THE FUEL CAPS WERE THE OLD UNVENTED TYPE. AN AD, EFFECTIVE 6/6/79, HAD REQUIRED VENTED CAPS. THE ACFT HAD NOT FLOWN 100 HRS SINCE 1979 SO IT TECHNICALLY WAS NOT AFFECTED BUT A CURRENT ANNUAL WOULD HAVE FOCUSED ATTENTION ON THE NON-COMPLIANCE WITH THE AD.
