Bear in mind that with a Continental and in fact most small aero engines, the carb is mounted on a manifold below the engine.

So the fuel transfer was just co-incidence ? Does she recall any bad bumps at he time, to pull the joint apart ? I guess a huge drop in manifold vacuum would stop it dead. All for half an inch of rubber pipe.
That taildragger link just goes to confirm my views, the USA is the place to fly, Europe is not. Endless space, predictable weather and cheap fuel, it's not fair.
I once owned a Bolkov Junior, last proper powered plane I flew was a Cub. Then a bit of microlighting and finally gliding.
